On August 27-28, 2024, the 2024 HCOWA West Africa Medical Industry Investment Summit and Expo hosted an Enterprise Presentation Show where 25 companies, including 22 leading Chinese factories and three prominent Ghanaian companies, showcased their products and services to a global audience.
The event, held both in-person and streamed live, provided a platform for these companies to highlight their contributions to advancing healthcare in the West African sub-region.
The presentations aimed to demonstrate how each company’s innovations and solutions are tailored to meet the unique healthcare needs of West Africa. The wide range of products and services presented included advanced medical equipment, cutting-edge diagnostic technologies, biotechnology solutions, and health data management tools.
Among the exhibitors were notable companies such as AILEX (Hunan) Medical Equipment Company Ltd, Zhongshan Tsingair Technology Co. Ltd, Hangzhou Medconn Diagnostics Technology Co., Ltd, Wellgrow Biotechnology Ltd, Chengdu UESTC Goldisc Health Data Technology, Fitone Group, and many others. These companies showcased their latest innovations, which participants praised for their potential to revolutionize healthcare delivery in the region.
The Ghanaian companies participating in the presentation were particularly commended for their efforts to align with the technological advancements and industry standards set by their Chinese counterparts. The synergy between Chinese and Ghanaian companies was evident, with both sides expressing keen interest in deepening their collaboration.
Participants at the event were enthusiastic about the innovations presented, recognizing the potential impact on healthcare efficiency and accessibility in West Africa.
The exhibitors, in turn, voiced their eagerness to penetrate the Ghanaian market and explore opportunities to establish manufacturing facilities in Ghana and other West African nations. This, they believe, will not only enhance healthcare delivery in the region but also contribute to the local economy by creating jobs and fostering technological transfer.
The Enterprise Presentation Show was a clear demonstration of the HCOWA Summit’s commitment to fostering partnerships that promote efficient healthcare solutions and drive sustainable development across the West African sub-region.
