The second edition of the event is expected to see over 90 exhibitors, with an expected footfall of 5000+ key decision makers and policy makers
Hospital Infrastructure & Management (HIM) expo, organised by The Ideas Exchange (IDEX) is set to provide the Indian healthcare industry a platform to educate them on hospital infrastructure, design and management.
Recognised as India’s premier international exhibition on hospital infrastructure and design, Hospital Infrastructure & Management (HIM) seeks to give visitors’ access to a broad spectrum of high profile solution providers and experts who are involved in the future development of regional healthcare systems and infrastructure, including ministry and senior government officials, key decision makers and influencers across the healthcare spectrum.
Reportedly, the second edition of HIM is expected to see over 90 exhibitors, with an expected footfall of 5000+ key decision makers and policy makers gathering from November 6-8, 2015 at Bombay Exhibition & Convention Centre, Mumbai. Recognised as the ideal platform for companies looking to grow in the healthcare infrastructure and design management space, the second edition of HIM will also witness an intense three day conference summit of industry leaders discussing topics to overcome critical challenges to the growth of new hospital construction in India.
According to some estimates, the overall Indian health care market is today valued around $ 65 billion, of which the hospital supplies and health care equipment segment is believed to be only around $ 4.5-5 million. Healthcare delivery, which includes hospitals, nursing homes and diagnostics centres, and pharma products, constitutes 65 per cent of the overall market.
Apparently, India requires 600,000 to 700,000 additional beds over the next five to six years, which potentially throws an opportunity of more than $25-30 billion. While the existing hospitals would look at expanding their capabilities, a lot of new properties would also come up providing an ideal opportunity for the private players to fill the gap. HIM expo intends to be one such initiative designed to fill the gap, creating a platform to improve the foundations of success of the Indian healthcare industry.
Experts like Lalit Varma, AVP of Apollo Hospitals; Dr Ram Narain of Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital (KDAH); Amit Sharma from Max Institute of Health Sciences; Parag Ringdani from Wockhardt; Tarang Gianchandani from Jaslok Hospital; Gautam Khanna from Hinduja Hospital; Anupam Verma from Wockhardt Hospital; Dr Vivek Desai of Hosmac, Surjeet Thakur of TrioTree; Tushar Kumar Desai from HN Reliance; Joy Chakraborty from Hinduja Hospital have reportedly confirmed as key speakers. They would facilitate industry discussions on developing new and refurbishing existing hospitals to world class standards in India.
They will focus their attention on three key areas that need critical attention:
- Hospital Build and Design
- Technology Integration
- Finance and Operations
“The healthcare industry in India has witnessed a massive increase in investment, as is particularly evident by the rising number of public and private hospitals, military hospitals, clinics and specialty centres that have been constructed and developed across the country over the last few years. Our intention with HIM is to make this the key platform for the design, build and management of healthcare facilities within the South Asia region. So when the decision makers behind public and private hospitals want solutions to building and refurbishing healthcare facilities, HIM would be the one stop solution for their needs,” said Vikas Vij, MD, The Ideas Exchange, organisers of HIM.
