About South Africa

Africa and the 24th biggest in the world. Johannesburg is the economic hub of South Africa and truly the gateway to
Africa. The venue for the exhibition - the Sandton Convention Centre- rates as a top venue, and is situated in Sandton
with ample accommodation, restaurants and shopping malls.
About health care in South Africa
The standards of care in South Africa is rated as the best in Africa. The country has a public health system, which is
focusing on improving care to the poor and disadvantaged through the primary health care system, while the private
health care system consists of major medical schemes, private hospitals and medical practitioners.
Supply-side solutions to health care provision dominate the South African debate on health care. Experts say health
care resources are too concentrated in the private health care sector. Others say it must be focused on the demand that
exists.
The truth is that there is ample opportunity for companies - especially in the health technology field - to expand
services to the African continent through Southern Africa. A growing economy needs investment and to satisfy the
present needs in the health care sector.
