Welcome to Africa!
T
he Africa Health Exhibition is taking place from 9-11 May 2012, and will feature the latest innovations and developments in medical equipment and solutions from leaders in the healthcare industry such as Draeger, Karl Storz, MAQUET,
Fuji, Terumo, Siemens and many more. The continent has, over the past few years, taken measures to
modernize and restructure its healthcare system and is taking steps to move towards increased efficiencies and cost-effectiveness. Recent government strategy has also seen a move towards quality
improvement and accreditation. The Council for Health Services Accreditation for Southern Africa (COHASA) carries out internal and external assessments using international standards and offers an international accreditation service for Botswana, Rwanda, Swaziland, Nigeria, and Lesotho, as well as South African hospitals. Expertise and support from the international healthcare community is needed to successfully implement this transformation. In addition, the African medical device industry, spearheaded mainly
by the South African government, is highly competitive and dynamic with approximately 95% of all devices imported from overseas. Current challenges such as the introduction of innovative technology and the debate surrounding the introduction of the National Health Insurance scheme in South Africa, will determine the future of the industry and increase the level of foreign investment further. Whether you are interested in solutions for hospitals, on a national
or regional level, or are looking for products and information specific to a speciality (such as orthopaedics, paediatrics or cardiology), then Africa Health can’t be missed! I hope you enjoy the Africa-related features on the next few pages and I look forward to welcoming you there in May.
