Medicall is India’s largest & No.1 Healthcare Event & Exhibition. It is organized by Medexpert Business Consultants Pvt Ltd, promoted by Dr. Manivannan S, Founder & Managing Director of Kauvery Group of Hospitals, South India.
Early in his career, Dr S Manivannan identified that nursing homes, small hospitals and clinics in tier 2 and 3 cities faced a distinct disadvantage in the market while procuring hospital equipment or service. They neither had the choice nor the price advantage enjoyed by the biggies.
While talking about the motivation behind starting this expo, Dr Manivannan S says, “Small and medium sized hospital owners from tier II and III cities cannot afford to have qualified purchase managers. Equipment companies also do not have adequate sales force to meet all these hospital owners. Since I have undergone the difficulty for my hospital, I thought Medicall will bring in all equipment manufacturers under one roof.”
Thus Medicall was born.
Medicall serves as a marketing platform wherein the equipment companies showcase their products and services to Hospital owners and decision makers.
Medicall shows are held at Chennai, Mumbai, Delhi, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Colombo since 2006. Medicall has completed 35 successful editions.
Medicall Hyderabad 2024 had more than 300 exhibitors, 7000 professional visitors and over 10,000 products.
