During the MEDICA trade fair last November in Düsseldorf, Germany, Corferias Bogotá CEO Andrés Lopez Valderrama and Messe Düsseldorf CEO Werner M. Dornscheidt signed a contract of strategic partnership, welcoming MEDITECH International Health Fair into the MEDICAlliance family of international trade shows.

Held in Bogotá, Colombia every two years, MEDITECH is the most important trade show for the medical industry in the Adean Region, Central America and the Caribbean. The sixth edition of MEDITECH will be held from July 3 - 6, 2018. The last staging of MEDITECH in 2016 attracted 9,873 trade visitors and featured nearly 200 exhibiting companies.

The trade fair will bring together all stakeholders in the healthcare supply chain, showcasing the products and services required by hospitals and clinics. Exhibit categories will include medical, surgical, laboratory, orthopedic, rehabilitation and physiotherapy equipment, hospital construction and furniture as well as software, IT and services related to the industry, waste management and hospital management consulting.

With nearly 50 million inhabitants Colombia is the world’s third largest Spanish-speaking country, Latin America’s third largest population, and the region’s fourth largest economy measured by GDP. Colombia’s market for medical technology is the fourth-largest in Latin America, importing more than 85% of the medical equipment with an estimated value of US$ 955 million. The country also has the most extensive health insurance system and medical financial protection in Latin America. Meditech 2018 is an ideal platform for international companies to enter this market and exhibitors from Brazil, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Malaysia, South Korea, Spain, Taiwan and the U.S. will participate.

A special showcase at Meditech 2018 will be the High-Tech in Hospitals Experiences Center (CEATH), with an admissions area, surgery room and patient room for visitors to interact with the equipment, supplies and machinery used in these areas.

The exhibits will be supported by the XIII International Congress of Hospitals and Clinics (July 4 – 5). Topics will address changes and priorities of the healthcare sector, the future of hospital management worldwide and the use of information technologies and data to improve health services. For the first time, a symposium will present successful solutions for the hospital sector prior to the conference. Meditech will also feature the 5th ACHC National Safe Hospital Award.
