Medicall, India’s largest B2B Medical Exposition, is promoted by Dr. S Manivannan, founder director of Kauvery Hospitals. Early in his career, he identified that nursing homes, small clinics and hospitals in tier 2 and 3 cities faced a distinct disadvantage in the market while procuring consumables and equipment for their business. They neither had the choice nor the price advantage enjoyed by the biggies. Thus Medicall was born.
Medicall 2014 involved approximately 630 companies from across the globe who participated in the exhibition. Most of the exhibitors substantially increased the size of their stall and showcased more products during the 3 day exhibition. It was a true bazaar for hospital equipment and supplies, ranging from surgical gloves to the most sophisticated medical equipment used worldwide.
In its 13th edition, Medicall has become a truly international show, with over 750 exhibitors from more than 20 countries and professional visitors exceeding 20,000. Medicall shows are held at Chennai, Ahmedabad, Kolkata and Colombo.
Come August, the medical fraternity embarks on its annual pilgrimage to Chennai, the Mecca of the medical legion. A perfect getaway to meet one's peers, to compare and choose equipment and best of all to refresh the knowledge base in the intellectually stimulating BrainStorm Medicall. A favourite with many International product companies, Medicall has these come repeatedly to widen their dealer and distributor base. Diversity is a given in this expo.
The show stoppers of Medicall are its seminars and workshops. Much care is put into this section to ensure they are not didactic and unidirectional but highly interactive and responsive. The Interactive healthcare Intelligentsia at BrainStorm Medicall dishes out nuggets of wisdom in a nutshell. At Medicall, medicine meets management.
A wide range of topics have been discussed over the years. Topics ranging from -
Family owned hospitals to financing of hospitals, lean to six sigma, from marketing to mergers and acquisitions, have been discussed by eminent stalwarts.
This year’s seminar topics include Costing for Hospitals, Workshop on NABH Pre Accreditation entry level for Hospitals, Succession planning, Lean Six Sigma, HR in Hospitals, IT :Workshop in Social Media, SEO and Mobile Apps for Healthcare.
The innovation awards segment had attracted over 170 applicants in 2014. The innovation awards are independently managed by Bio Vedas who are the knowledge partners and strategic advisors to Medicall.
The 13th edition of Medicall will be held at Chennai Trade Centre between July 31st, August 1st and 2nd 2015. This year the innovation awards will honour worthy winners in Medical Equipment, Clinical and Surgical Practices, CSR initiatives in Healthcare and Apps, Social Media & ICT in Healthcare.
