From Chairman's Desk

HEALTHEX INTERNATIONAL 2012 is the 3rd edition in succession. Since its inception, the show has been growing with Indian medical and healthcare industry. We have attempted to make HEALTHEX INTERNATIONAL as an ideal medical equipment show for the industry professionals of the Healthcare industry.

The Indian healthcare sector is also on a fast growth track and is poised to reach US$ 280 billion by the year 2020.

The market for tertiary care is expected to grow exponentially due to the rise in complex ailments such as heart diseases and cancer. India’s changing demographics and the increasing incidence of non-communicable and lifestyle-related diseases is expected to trigger the need for more tertiary care.

This could be made possible with a constant improvement in the healthcare infrastructure. An additional 1.75 million beds are needed for India to achieve the target of two beds per 1,000 population and 0.7 million doctors to meet the ratio of one medical doctor per 1,000 individuals by 2025. All this could be achieved if one could share visions, thoughts and exchange ideas.

Regardless of today's global shifts, it is clearly recognised that trade exhibitions are still of prime importance to the economy - and in some cases they are even more important than ever before.

HEALTHEX INTERNATIONAL 2012 will provide the vision for the future to Indian medical industry with international exhibitors from various countries bringing the advanced technologies & products, sharing the latest information.

When it comes to the quality of HEALTHEX INTERNATIONAL, experience has shown that exhibitors have expressed their satisfaction by participating. Comprehensive visitor promotion through various channels and media verticals will enable to communicate about the exhibitors' products and services to the greatest extent possible and ensure presence of as many high-quality visitors from appropriate target groups. Exhibitors can also expect to find the best possible service at the venues where the event is held.

I believe that HEALTHEX INTERNATIONAL 2012 will be the specialised and differentiated exhibition that will provide a right platform to scale up the standards of Indian healthcare industry.

I look forward to the active participation and support of your company in HEALTHEX 2012.
