A seminar on Malaysia-Cambodian Healthcare Business Opportunities has been conducted at the Intercontinental Hotel, in Phnom Penh, on November 6, 2008.
The event included an Exhibition, the opportunity to hold one-on-one Individual Business Meetings with Malaysian companies and Healthcare Talks on Neurology and Cardiology by speakers from Malaysia.
Mohamad Kamarudin Hassan, Deputy Chief Officer of the Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE), said that the event was jointly organized by MATRADE and the Malaysian Ministry of Health. Further support was provided by the Association of Private Hospitals of Malaysia (APHM).
Kamarudin Hassan said that about 15 delegates including Malaysian government officials, APHM delegates, healthcare professionals and a range of other health service providers attended the seminar.
He said, “It is the first time that MATRADE has organized this important event in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The main objective of the Malaysian mission is to explore business opportunities and areas for collaboration between Malaysia and Cambodian companies in the healthcare and related services sector as well as medical products and devices.”
He continued, “We hope to establish useful business contacts and network with local importers, healthcare service providers, medical practitioners, insurance companies, tour operators, banks, multinational companies and government agencies and associations related to the health sector. We will also strengthen the existing business linkages between Malaysia and Cambodia,” he added.
