From May 21 to 23, 2025, Almaty will once again become a center of attraction for the international medical and pharmaceutical community: the most significant and large-scale event of the industry will be held in the Atakent IEC - the 30th Anniversary Kazakhstan International Healthcare Exhibition KIHE 2025

For three decades, KIHE has been a unique major industry event demonstrating achievements in the field of medicine and pharmaceuticals in Central Asia and Kazakhstan, annually bringing together manufacturers, distributors, government representatives, science, medicine and business, doctors of various specialties, pharmacists, industry participants from different countries, forming a single professional space.

 

The relevance of the annual successful holding of the exhibition is explained by the development of the healthcare industry in Kazakhstan, demonstrating positive dynamics.

The allocation of significant funds indicates the high priority of the health of the nation for the government, emphasizing the desire for accessibility of quality services and modern equipment. The event is becoming not only the largest industry event in the region, but also a catalyst for real changes in the healthcare system of Kazakhstan and Central Asian countries.
