Next edition: 14-16.03.2012
We would very much like to encourage you to take part in the upcoming 24 rd edition of the International Medical Fair SALMED 2012, to be held in Poznań on 14-16 March 2012.
| NEW CENTURY MEDICINE AT SALMED 2010 |
The twenty-third edition of SALMED International Medical Fair must be pronounced a success. On 10 - 12 March 2010, the fairgrounds of Międzynarodowe Targi Poznańskie were visited by nearly 6,000 professionals, including many healthcare managers, directors of medical facilities, physicians, laboratory diagnosticians, rehabilitation specialists, medical rescue personnel as well as nurses and midwives. As usual, SALMED was held under the honorary auspices of Ms. Ewa Kopacz, the Minister of Health.
| SALMED in response to the needs of the medical industry |
Contemporary medicine boasts incredible achievements in all its fields, constantly introducing increasingly effective methods for disease treatment and prevention. To a great extent, its development hinges upon technological progress that particularly manifests itself in medical equipment. For a more efficient healthcare operation, the level of both equipment and services provided by medical centres in Poland must follow patients' expectations and needs. The offer from SALMED exhibitors addresses the expectations of managers of both public and private healthcare facilities, creating an opportunity to provide technologically advanced medical equipment to these facilities up to standards of a 21st century hospital.
| The largest trade fair of medical market leaders in Central and Eastern Europe |
SALMED is Poland's largest event of the medical industry, a professional platform of education and experience sharing. The trade fair of medical equipment was housed in MTP pavilion 5, one of the most modern and the largest exhibition pavilions in Poland, where over 300 exhibitors from 29 countries from all over the world, including USA, Great Britain, Germany, Italy, France, Japan, Sweden, Finland and Austria, presented their comprehensive offer on the exhibition space of 13,000 sq m. In Poznań, leaders of the Polish and international medical markets showcased medical devices and instruments, equipment for hospitals, clinics and private practices, as well as laboratory and rehabilitation equipment.
| Platform for presenting new products |
SALMED means first and foremost a platform for presenting newly launched products and trade fair debuts. There were over 100 specially marked new products presented to professional audience at SALMED for the very first time. These included the most cutting-edge ultrasound platforms, electrocardiographs, defibrillators, telemonitors, portable ventilators, soundproof testing booths, IT systems, hospital beds, operating tables and many other devices. The presentation of new products has provided a lot of interesting information about the latest technologies and trends in the medical industry. MTP grounds have turned into an impressive centre of contemporary medical technologies.
| MEDICAL KNOW HOW |
An indispensable element of the SALMED fair is a program of seminars and specialist conferences, along with workshops, lectures and many business meetings that enjoyed great popularity with professional audience. The thematic profile of this year's edition of SALMED comprised the following conference modules: Management, Laboratory, Rehabilitation, Emergency Medicine and Nursing. The multidisciplinary exposition from suppliers of medical equipment was complemented by expert lectures on effective management of healthcare units and IT technologies (from keeping medical e-records to streamlining operational costs to on-line health accounts and patient relation management), project financing from European Union funds (training for managers of non-public medical facilities), service of medical products, conferences on laboratory diagnostics (involvement of a medical diagnostics laboratory in patient care), rehabilitation in oncology, rescue medicine (lectures, shows and workshops on procedures to follow in cases of life hazard in children and newborns) and nursing (contemporary health hazards in children and youth). 
| Prestigious MTP trophies for the best |
The best products at SALMED 2010 have been traditionally awarded. Products showcased at the trade fair and boasting cutting-edge technological solutions and top quality were presented with MTP Gold Medal - Gold Aesculapius. This is one of the most prestigious quality awards in Poland that has been presented to medical products for over 20 years now.
