   CU Medical Systems (South Korea) Sales Manager Jonathan Barkai added: “We see great opportunities in the Indian medical device market and that is why taking part in this trade fair was important to us with regard to our growth plans.” 

   “As the industry leader for disposable hand protection solutions and an OEM provider for leading global brands, MEDICAL FAIR INDIA proved to be an effective platform for us which enabled us to meet national distribution partners and gain an understanding of the possibilities and complexity of one of the largest emerging markets,” stated  Bhaskar Mukherjee, Vice President for India of the YTY Group (Malaysia).

   Major exhibit categories at MEDICAL FAIR INDIA 2019 included medical products and  technology, laboratory technology and diagnostics, equipment and furniture for clinics and health centers as well as products for care and rehabilitation, health IT and mobile health solutions.
