KIHE is organised by Iteca (Kazakhstan) and its partners, ITE Group Plc (UK) GiMA (Germany) and EUF A.S. (Turkey).
KIHE covers 6,000 square metres and features approximately 150 companies. Most of the exhibitors at KIHE are manufacturers and distributors of medical equipment. German medical equipment manufacturers and distributors will be exhibiting together as part of a national group stand. In addition, there will be companies from China and Jordan. The domestic companies at the exhibition will be presenting medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, disinfection facilities and new dental products. In total, 18 countries will be represented at the exhibition: Belarus, China, Czech Republic, Egypt, Finland, France, Germany, India, Japan, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Lithuania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Switzerland, Turkey and the United States.
One exhibitor, Alexei Kolesov, Commercial Director of MedTechnika JSC, explains why his company takes part in KIHE, “We will be presenting our new products at KIHE 2009, those that have just been or are being registered. For example, visitors to our stand will be introduced to Clever Check, a talking pocket glucose meter, with the first liquid growth hormone in a multi-dose pre-filled disposable syringe, with a new form of insulin… Other products on display will include a total endoprosthesis replacement set by Gruppo Bioimplanti S.r.l. of Italy, reanimation consumables by Medicalexpand of France and equipment by Triton Electronic System of Russia. All these are state-of-the-art technologies in global medicine”. Another new product will be featured in the dental section: a composite tooth-improving material by Ultradent (US).
Over the years, KIHE has become well known as an annual meeting point for doctors in Kazakhstan and their colleagues from overseas. The event reflects the changes and development of the healthcare industry. In the current economic climate, its relevance cannot be overestimated; it is now more important than ever to understand the needs and expectations of healthcare professionals and pharmaceutical manufacturers. Equally, it is important for companies to continue and even increase their advertising and marketing activities to ensure consumers know that they are still in the market. In addition to the usual activities, the exhibition offers participants the chance to take part in specialised forum, seminars, presentations, discussions and product launches.
The Ministry of Healthcare in Kazakhstan has developed a strategic plan for 2009-2011, which aims to tackle issues in the domestic healthcare system. 299.5 billion tenge from the national budget has been earmarked for implementing this plan, with a further 411.6 and 368.9 billion tenge to follow over the next few years. Over 383 billion tenge was invested in healthcare in 2008, rising to 482 billion in 2009. During the exhibition, the Ministry of Healthcare of Kazakhstan will hold an investment forum, focussing on the design and construction of new healthcare facilities.
KIHE 2009 is officially supported by the Ministry of Healthcare of Kazakhstan, the Almaty City Akimat, the Almaty City Healthcare Department, the S.D. Asfendiyarov Kazakh National Medical University, MedTechnika JSC, and the Association of Representative Offices of Pharmaceutical Companies in the Kazakhstan.
KIHE takes place over four days from 13 May in Pavilion 11 of the Atakent Exhibition Centre.
