Participants can explore products, technologies and services that could help improve hospital operations and patient care.
AI and Healthcare to Be Discussed
Along with the exhibition, HOSPEX 2026 will include conferences, seminars and workshops on new developments in healthcare.
The programme will feature the third edition of the AI in Healthcare Conclave, which will discuss the growing use of artificial intelligence in the healthcare sector.
Other sessions will cover smart hospitals, clinical laboratories, biomedical engineering, hospital procurement and medical tourism.
Platform for Startups and Healthcare Businesses
The expo will provide healthcare startups and entrepreneurs with an opportunity to present their products and explore possible partnerships.
Hospitals and healthcare institutions can also use the event to discover and compare products and services that may be useful for their operations.
The organisers aim to bring healthcare decision-makers and industry providers together through the exhibition and related programmes.
