Description

Strong exhibitor line-up from over 25 countries and a comprehensive medical product, equipment & machinery showcase at Kenya's biggest International Medical Trade Exhibition

AFRILAB KENYA is a leading exhibition that showcases innovative solutions from leading market players for the benefit of buyers from the medical technology industry, from across the East African region. The event invites buyers from across East Africa who are seeking new products, equipment, machinery, services and solutions in the medical laboratory and diagnostics industry. The event is the most important and relevant trade exhibition for industry professionals in the lab and diagnostics fields to source for products, meet new business contacts, build partnerships, and keep abreast of industry trends and developments. Afrilab targets hospital laboratories, commercial laboratories, research laboratories, and public health laboratories.

Kenya’s medical device market is expected to expand by a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9% in local currency terms and 8.2% in U.S. dollar terms, which should see it soon rise to $197.9 million, according to the latest data sources. Laboratory testing services in Kenya include testing for various clinical specimens, such as blood, urine, feces, sputum, cerebrospinal fluid, and tissue. The laboratory testing services include bacteriology, virology, parasitology, immunology, mycology, clinical chemistry, hematology, blood bank, molecular diagnostics, cytogenetics, and reproductive biology. The laboratory testing services are offered by public and private laboratories across different levels of health facilities which makes importing, distributing, and manufacturing medical devices and equipment, such as automated analysers, microscopes, centrifuges, and reagents a very lucrative opportunity.

MGM Resorts is committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse culture, not just among employees and guests but also within its supply chain. The company prioritizes procuring goods and services from businesses owned by minorities, women, veterans, people with disabilities, LGBTQ individuals and those facing economic disadvantages. This commitment is integral to MGM Resorts' global procurement strategy.    Through its voluntary supplier diversity program, MGM Resorts actively identifies and connects certified diverse-owned suppliers to opportunities within its supply chain. The company is on track to spend at least 15% of its biddable procurement with diverse-owned businesses by 2025, demonstrating that supplier diversity is not only a social responsibility but also a strategic business imperative.    Supplier diversity isn’t just the right thing to do – it’s good for business. A diverse supply chain allows access to a broader range of perspectives and experience, helping to drive innovation, entrepreneurship and resilience, while strengthening communities. At MGM Resorts, engaging diverse suppliers ensures best-in-class experiences for guests and clients. Supplier diversity ensures a more resilient supply chain while supporting economic development in the communities in which it operates.   The impact of MGM Resorts' supplier diversity initiatives is significant.

The story extends beyond the numbers – it reflects the tangible benefits brought to small and diverse-owned businesses, fostering economic empowerment in their communities.    MGM Resorts also supports the development and business skills of diverse-owned businesses through investment, mentorship and education. Through the MGM Resorts Supplier Diversity Mentorship Program, the company identifies, mentors and develops diverse-owned businesses to fill its future pipeline, while providing businesses with tools and resources to empower and uplift.
