WHX Nairobi

World Health Expo Nairobi (WHX Nairobi), formerly known as Medic East Africa, is a major healthcare exhibition and networking event serving Kenya and the wider East African healthcare market. Organised as part of the global World Health Expo platform, the event brings together healthcare professionals, manufacturers, distributors, hospital decision-makers, government representatives, investors and healthcare business leaders.

The 2026 edition takes place from 16–18 September 2026 at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre in Nairobi. Organisers expect more than 5,500 attendees, 200+ exhibitors and companies from over 30 exhibiting countries, creating an important regional platform for discovering new healthcare technologies, identifying suppliers and distributors, developing partnerships and exploring commercial opportunities across East Africa.

The exhibition covers eight principal healthcare sectors, including orthopaedics, medical equipment and devices, imaging and diagnostics, healthcare infrastructure, IT solutions, disposables and consumables, healthcare services, and preventative and post-diagnostic treatments.

For the prosthetics, orthotics and rehabilitation community, WHX Nairobi is particularly relevant because of its coverage of orthopaedics and rehabilitation-related medical technologies. It provides an opportunity for P&O professionals to meet international manufacturers and regional suppliers while exploring technologies relevant to mobility, rehabilitation, clinical care and assistive products.

Nairobi’s role as a healthcare and commercial hub also means the event attracts participants from beyond Kenya, making WHX Nairobi an important meeting point for organisations seeking to develop partnerships and distribution networks across East Africa and the wider African healthcare market. The attendee profile includes healthcare professionals, hospital and clinical managers, dealers and distributors, government representatives, executives and investors.
