Dear Colleagues, dear Friends!
On behalf of the National Medical Association let me welcome the participants and guests of the 24th Kazakhstan International Healthcare Exhibition - KIHE 2017. 24 years is a solid date that symbolizes stability in the market, and most importantly - the significance of this event for our medical community.
Holding this exhibition undoubtedly contributes to drawing proper attention to the problems of medicine as one of the most important sectors of public health in Kazakhstan. KIHE 2017 is an interactive platform for solving pressing issues and problems in the healthcare sphere.

I am sure that holding these events will help draw due attention to the problems of medicine as one of the important sectors of healthcare in Kazakhstan and will become a dialogue platform for solving vital problems and issues in the sphere of health protection.

On behalf of Iteca, the Kazakhstani exhibition company, and ITE Company Group, our international partners, I am delighted to offer the most hospitable welcome to all participants of the 24th Kazakhstan International Healthcare KIHE 2017.
At the modern stage of the society development, promotion of medical science and innovational methods in the healthcare systems are key factors for the improvement of public health. The system of healthcare should be provided with all required tools to efficiently identify tendencies and promising trends for the innovational development, and, in its turn, be a foundation for the creation of its own planning model for innovational activities.
Annually, KIHE Exhibition represents a unique place for leading specialists and managers of various medical institutions to share experience and best practices. Holding this exhibition is a very important part of the overall development of the healthcare system of Kazakhstan by means of latest achievements of national and foreign medical industries as well as new methods of diagnostics and treatment of human diseases.
For 24 years the Exhibition has repeatedly reaffirmed its relevance and become one of the key instruments to develop and upgrade mechanisms of transfer of innovational technologies into the healthcare system of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The program and exposition of KIHE 2017 are aimed at improving procedures of search, selection and assessment of existing medical technologies, and reducing time for their introduction in medical organizations.
A huge potential and possibilities of modern achievements in the field of medical science and latest medical technologies, which can be applied in practice, determine the diversity of the thematic sections of KIHE 2017: medical devices, equipment for diagnostics and treatment, expendable materials, sutures, medical clothing, personal care items, furniture for medical purposes, latest informational technologies, laboratory medicine, medical innovations, engineering and design for medical complexes, hospitals, doctors' offices, health centers, equipment for cleaning, disinfection, sanification and storage of sterile items, laboratory equipment, microbiology, pharmaceutical technologies and many others.
We are confident that KIHE 2017 will not only contribute to the expansion of technologies and development of cooperation between their developers and users, but will also work for the creation and maintenance of required support systems and infrastructures for further introduction of innovations in the healthcare system of Kazakhstan.
On behalf of the organizers of this event, I wish all participants and guests effective work and achievement of your goals.
