KARACHI: A wide spread of Pakistan surgical/dental instruments bedecking the Pakistan pavilion at the APHM International Healthcare Conference and Exhibition 2012 managed to interest and excite a large number of visitors and buyers visiting the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) to explore the three-day event on Wednesday.

The event being organised by Association of Private Hospitals of Malaysia (APHM) is featuring nearly 120 booths showcasing the latest technological advances in healthcare by exhibitors from Australia, China, Malaysia, Pakistan, Singapore and USA.

Pakistani pavilion has been set up jointly by Pakistan High Commission in Malaysia and the Trade Development Authority of Pakistan which has also sent in a nine-member delegation comprising leading exporters of surgical/dental instruments to represent and introduce the Pakistani products to the Malaysian market.

Pakistan's High Commissioner to Malaysia Masood Khalid said the Pakistani surgical and dental instruments were known throughout the world for their competitiveness, effectiveness and durability and were earning precious foreign exchange worth millions of dollars for the country.

He said Pakistani surgical and dental equipments were already reaching markets in the US, Europe and Middle East in large number and the ongoing visit of the Pakistani exporters to Malaysia and their participation in the world healthcare moot and exhibition would pave the way for the Pakistani products and instruments to make their way into the Malaysian market and others in the region.

Pakistani delegation also held several meetings with Malaysian stakeholders, including the Malay Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DPMM), Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM), Malaysia Islamic Chamber of Commerce (DPIM), Medical Devices Bureau, Ministry of Health, Government of Malaysia to explore possibilities for the export of surgical/ dental instruments from Pakistan.

According to the Surgical Instruments Manufacturers Association of Pakistan (SIMAP), Pakistan's exports stand at $225 million (2009-10) while the total capital investment in the surgical industry is estimated at Rs 20 billion.

Pakistan mainly exports two types of surgical instruments, including the disposable instruments, which constitute 80 percent of exports, reusable instruments which account for 19 percent of exports and advanced devices which are 1 percent of the exports.

The leading buyers of Pakistani are United States, Germany, United Kingdom, France, Brazil, Italy, Japan, Australia, UAE and Mexico.

Pakistani surgical, dental, and other steel instrumentals, utensils, are prevalent in the US. In fact, several days ago at work I happened to pick up a pair of thin stainless scissors and noticed it says "Made in Pakistan". Many large retail stores here also sell steel utensils and objects made in Pakistan tweezers, scissors, nail-clippers, knives, etc.

Though, not only should we export to Malaysia, but to other new markets Turkiye, Indonesia, China, ME, and more. Pakistan already exports to US and a few European countries like Germany more of the markets there need to be reached.
