Expomed Eurasia, the Istanbul medical device and healthcare technology fair, returns to the Tuyap Fair and Congress Center in the spring after next, opening on the fifteenth of April and running for four days to the eighteenth. The fair is organised by Reed Tuyap Fairs Organization, the joint venture between the Tuyap group and the international exhibitions business, and is held at the Buyukcekmece fairground.
The exhibition profile the organiser publishes covers hospital equipment and medical facility management, electro medical equipment and medical technologies, laboratory and biotechnology devices, consumables and commodities, orthopaedics, physiotherapy and rehabilitation, and an over the counter section. The venue's own listing adds that the over the counter section covers life products, herbal medicines and food supplements. A veterinary section appears in the organiser's navigation as a special section within the fair rather than as a separate co located event.
The organiser states that the fair has been held without interruption for thirty three consecutive years. That is a duration claim and the organiser does not publish an edition number anywhere on the pages read, so no edition ordinal is given here. The headline statistics the organiser publishes are 527 exhibitors, 19,308 total visitors, 25 exhibitor countries and 134 visitor countries. The organiser's page does not say which edition those figures describe, so they are reported as its most recently published numbers rather than as last year's result.
For Gulf health ministries, hospital groups and distributors the fair matters as a regional sourcing point that sits between the larger European and Asian medical exhibitions, and Istanbul's position gives buyers from the Gulf, North Africa and Central Asia a single stop. Turkiye is also a significant exporter of medical consumables and hospital furniture, so the exhibitor base is domestic as well as international.
One documentation defect is worth recording. The organiser's own frequently asked questions page names a different Istanbul venue in its body text while its header on the same page names the Tuyap centre, and both the organiser's about page and the venue's own calendar give the Tuyap centre. The Tuyap centre is therefore the venue and the frequently asked questions page should not be cited for it.
