Medicall: A One-stop Shop For Equipment Needs Of Hospitals

Date: August 4-6, 2006
Venue: Raja Muthiah Hall, Chennai

'Medicall' is a three-day expo conference organised by Medexpert to attract small and medium hospitals. This event will be a one-stop shop for all the equipment needs of these hospitals.

Recent studies have shown that Indian medical industry is worth USD 25 billion and it's growing at the rate of 15 per cent per annum. This indicates the tremendous potential for growth in all healthcare-related services. As the number of hospitals mushroom, their equipment requirements increase manifold.

Current day intense competition,interests in medical tourism, and for complying with accreditation standards, most hospitals are in look out for the latest medical gadgets.

One important observation made here is that, small and medium hospitals account for more than 75 per cent of the total private healthcare industry. These hospitals are located in small towns, and their awareness about latest gadgets is only through representatives who meet them occasionally.

Specialised conferences and exhibitions are regularly organised, but they offer only limited range of equipment. To satisfy requirements of any nursing home, its owner should visit many such conferences, which is not possible due to their busy schedule. Most of the time, specialists visiting the stalls in such conferences are not the decision-makers and the decision-makers don't visit such conferences.

Features of the conference:

• A unique equipment exchange mela will be organised at the venue, which will attract many doctors.
• Additionally, a novel seminar will be organised to boost the attendance.
• Points to ponder before purchasing an ultrasound machine.
• Annual maintenance contracts and insurance- myths demystified.
• Multiparameter Monitor/Pulse-Oximeter-purchase mantras.
• Titbits about financing for small and medium-sized hospitals.
• Designing operation theatre for small and medium hospitals.
• Software for small and medium hospitals.
• Judicious use of lab consumables.
• Materials management in hospitals.

All the medical conferences deal with clinical topics, and hospital management seminars are few in numbers. These topics address long-time problems faced by the medical practitioners. Hence, hospital owners are likely to show keen interest in attending the seminar and the expo. This expo will be an annual event.

The co-sponsors are Apollo Group, Lister Metroplis and Trivitron.
