The organizers of the Azerbaijan International Healthcare Exhibition, BIHE, have announced a change to the dates of the exhibition. Previously scheduled for September, BIHE 2013 will now take place from 31 October to 2 November 2013.
As the only exhibition in the region in the field of medicine and health care, BIHE has become an important meeting place for representatives of state organizations, manufacturers of medical equipment and products, medical practitioners and healthcare professionals. The exhibition’s high reputation is supported by the fact that BIHE is held with the support of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Azerbaijan, the Azerbaijan Stomatological Association, the Azerbaijan Export and Investment Promotion Foundation (AZPROMO), and the National Confederation of Entrepreneurs’ (Employers’) Organizations of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
The interest shown thus far in the exhibition, from both foreign and domestic companies and organizations, suggests that the exhibition will be 20% larger than last year’s. As is traditional, BIHE will showcase a wide range of medical supplies and services: medical and laboratory equipment, dental equipment, pharmaceuticals, consumables, disinfectants, orthopaedic products, state-of-the-art diagnosis and treatment systems, new technologies and services, and more. In parallel with BIHE, two further events - the 8th Azerbaijan International Stomatology Exhibition and the 7th Azerbaijan International Beauty and Aesthetic Medicine Exhibition, Beauty Azerbaijan - will take place. This year companies from Azerbaijan, Belarus, Germany, Turkey, the USA, Italy, Russia and Ukraine will participate in the exhibition. The Czech Republic will present a national stand at the exhibition for the first time, on the initiative of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic. For many years the exhibition has been attended by clinics from Turkey. Domestic companies including Medeks, Labservis, CaspiDent, Beauty Aesthetic, Gazelli and ZNK, will also participate in the exhibition. Registration for exhibitors is currently open. –0-
