3. Mission to Saudi Arabia; 8-15
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.
Another date for diaries: ABHI will be
holding a sandwich lunch discussing the Saudi Arabian market on
Monday, 11 February 2008.

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.
