1. Editor's Comment:
 It was good to welcome the
Singaporean delegation to the UK last week. I met them
in London, and was impressed with how enterprising and forward
thinking they were. I have contacted a couple of UK companies
subsequent to their visit. For others interested in this
vibrant market, I suggest you contact Valsa Panicker in
Singapore at the British High Commission / valsa.panicker@fco.gov.uk
It is also not too early to register your
interest in HOSPIMedica Singapore

3. CMEF '08 - 18-21 April
2008
China no longer seems like a difficult market, in a land far,
far away which requires patience and deep pockets to succeed in.
CMEF is a show where one gets a sense that China means business and
is changing so fast that old attitudes need to be thrown away and
thrown away quickly!
Philip Kennedy
Sales & Marketing Director
Eschmann Equipment
The Chinese market is fast becoming a superpower in the medical
device arena. Enterprising companies have minimised their market
entry risks to capitalise on its huge potential, and secure their
market share.
Paul Benton
Events Marketing Manager
ABHI
The CMEF has become one of China's most celebrated healthcare
shows this century. Companies have been inundated with enquiries
from this show. This is just one of the reasons why ABHI will be
there with a UK pavilion for the third consecutive year.
 The Spring CMEF will be held in Shenzhen,
a sub-provincial city of Guangdong province in southern China. The
city - famous at one time for its proximity with the boundary of
Hong Kong - is now equally as well known as the centre of foreign
investment. It has, since the late 1970s, been one of the fastest
growing cities in the world. Shenzhen also has the busiest port in
China, after Shanghai.
To join the ABHI Pavilion at this continually-growing and
exciting event see:
CMEF Application Form. Alternatively, e-mail
exhibitions@abhi.org.uk for
further information.

China.

non-competitive information and network in a friendly, informal

focus on Japan, and company case studies will
include Downs Surgical.
The event is now open to non ABHI member as well as members,
