This event is linked to the ‘Korea International Medical and Hospital Equipment Show (KIMES 2022)’, the largest medical equipment exhibition in Korea.
In this event, 430 buyers from 45 countries around the world will participate in consultation with 192 Korean companies in the fields of digital healthcare, medical equipment, dental equipment, and medical supplies.
On March 10, the opening day, the ‘Global Medical Device Conference’ will be held at the COEX Grand Conference Hall.
