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:
