Mr Lars Wismer, managing director of Messe Dusseldorf Asia, said: “Medical Fair Asia sits at the centre of a broader healthcare ecosystem, with Medical Manufacturing Asia extending into engineering and production, RehaCare Asia into rehabilitation and healthy ageing, and OS+H Asia into worker well-being and safety.”

The links between these areas are becoming more apparent. Rising temperatures and ageing populations, for example, have implications not only for healthcare systems but also for how people work, recover from injury and remain independent as they grow older.

HEALTHCARE INNOVATION IN PRACTICE

At Medical Fair Asia 2026, visitors can see technologies ranging from portable wireless ultrasound systems that deliver real-time imaging through mobile devices to compact infusion pumps for antibiotics, chemotherapy and pain management.

The new Future for Health Zone will spotlight AI, robotics, wearables, connected health and data analytics that could support earlier detection, clinical decision-making and healthcare delivery beyond hospital settings.
