OREANDA-NEWS. April 26, 2011. Innovations are proposed and, most importantly, adopted with great caution. And rightly so: the health and lives of people hang in the balance. But today, in the age of nanotechnology, we can look forward to the inevitable integration of several emerging lines of changes in the design, manufacture, distribution, use and disposal of medical equipment, instruments and devices. What are these trends? What changes will occur? At what rate? The answers to these questions are of fundamental importance for developing corporate, regional and industry development strategies for medical equipment. KIHE is a recognised leader in medical and healthcare events, and will again offer its visitors and exhibitors a unique platform to discuss the future development of the industry by a wide range of healthcare professionals.

From 11 to 13 May, KIHE 2011 will bring together in Almaty around 150 exhibiting companies, organisations and enterprises from 18 countries, including the national stands of Germany and the Czech Republic, and groups of companies from China and Turkey.

This week, companies from Hungary, India and Uzbekistan, which also intend to present medical equipment at the exhibition, have joined the list of exhibitors.

Leading domestic and international companies will showcase their latest developments, know-how and technology, which are required by the modern healthcare industry.

OrdaMed Central Asia will present a line of new R-series models from South Korea’s Medison - eighth generation scanners that use a completely new software platform: SonoAce R3, SonoAce R5, SonoAce R7, Accuvix XG and EKO 7. The latter have unique options, HDVI ® and Volume NT ®, which have no analogues among other manufacturers of ultrasonic scanners. Yumgiskor will demonstrate a contactless, fast and accurate way of determining haemoglobin levels in blood, pulse rate and perfusion index using a new development - Masimo Pronto-7TM. This year, Medicus Eurasia will focus on cardiology and cardiac surgery: at KIHE 2011 the company will present the LUCAS automatic chest compression system.

KIHE 2011 will present a wide range of medical goods and services - from producers of medicines to manufacturers, dealers and distributors of medical equipment, and equipment for ophthalmology, endoscopy, rehabilitation, physiotherapy, spas and much more.

The prestige of the exhibition is due to many factors: the professional organisers, official support and sponsors. The event is organised by the Kazakhstani exhibition company Iteca, part of ITE Group plc (UK). KIHE is officially supported by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Almaty City Administration Department of Health, S.D. Asfendiyarov Kazakh National Medical University, Association of Representative Offices of Pharmaceutical Companies in the Republic of Kazakhstan, National Medical Association and Medtekhnika. The General Sponsor of KIHE 2011 is Ordamed Central Asia. The special events are sponsored by Yumgiskor Holding.
