1. Editor's Comment:
Medica's previous year's level of attendance was maintained;
over the 4 days of the fair, despite the national rail strike, the
event still attracted approximately 137,000 trade visitors from
around 100 countries. Exhibitors on the ABHI Pavilion were
very pleased with the show, and it was, once again, good to
see so many familiar faces on our stand.

Application Forms for Medica 2008 will be issued in this
e-newswire during February/March of next year.
Dates of the next Medica: 19-22 November
2008
In the meantime, insofar as exhibitions are concerned, ABHI will
be taking a UK Pavilion at Arab Health in January, and at the CMEF
in China in April. Please contact us if interested in the CMEF, or,
indeed, the Chinese market.

Japan, and company case studies will include
Downs Surgical.

4. 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
China 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.

6. Saudi Arabia; Trade Mission -
8 March 2008
 UKTI will be taking a Trade Mission
to Saudi Arabia, where most of the private hospitals are
expanding or building new hospitals and private clinics. It
is, therefore, an opportune time to visit the market. If
interested in this mission please contact Theresa Ashford
on theresa.ashford@abhi.org.uk.
ABHI has been encouraged by the number of responses to the
mission thus far. In the event the Mission goes ahead, UKTI are
looking to hold a Seminar. Possible themes for the Seminar are the
latest developments in Saudi Arabia as well as the advancements in
medical technology the UK has to offer.

7. Healthcare in Syria Workshop;
7 December 2007
As a follow-up to the UKTI scoping report, British Expertise
will welcome an in-coming delegation from the Syrian Ministry of
Health next month, and on Friday, 7 December, a Workshop has been
scheduled. Companies specialising in hospital design, quality
control, hospital management, nurse training and clinical research
support will find the Workshop particularly relevant. The
delegation is subject to final confirmation on timing and
composition, but is still likely to comprise three senior Ministry
officials. If you would like to attend please either complete the
flyer or reply to elp@britishexpertise.org
with your contact details (no charge for British Expertise
members).

The delegation will also visit ABHI on
Thursday, 6 December, where a number of

with the delegation on 6 December, please contact theresa.ashford@abhi.org.uk
