1. Editor's Comment: Enclosed in this e-newswire is the release of the Medica Application Forms for the ABHI Pavilion (Section 2).
The e-newswire also sees the release of a new page on ABHI's website entitled Business Partnering Opportunities (Section 5). This will initially focus on UK companies seeking UK distribution, but will ultimately feature more overseas partnering opportunities for UK companies especially with the Middle East and China.
