More than 5,000 government officials, healthcare professionals and investors from across the globe have gathered at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) in Nairobi for East Africa’s largest healthcare exhibition and congress.

“Apart from the seasoned exhibitors, we have also first-time exhibitors like Siemens, United Imaging, Mindray, and Snibe, some of the leading brands in the world,” he added.
The event will also host a series of CPD-accredited conferences that are free to attend for healthcare and lab professionals from East Africa.

“At the end of the exhibition, health stakeholders will be able to determine the best course of action to deliver good and quality healthcare across the East African region. The conferences will also address crucial issues and define solutions for current challenges,” Coleman said.
