…upcoming co-located events receive strong support from the Federal Ministry of Health, Nigeria, and others
Informa Markets, a global leader in event organisation, has unveiled a bold new chapter in its healthcare exhibitions portfolio with the launch of WHX (World Health Exhibitions). As part of this global transformation, Medic West Africa and Medlab West Africa have been rebranded as WHX Lagos and WHX Labs Lagos, respectively. This strategic evolution reinforces WHX as a premier platform for driving innovation, collaboration, and progress in the healthcare and laboratory industries.
The first edition of WHX Lagos and WHX Labs Lagos is set to take place from June 2 – 4, 2025, at the Landmark Centre in Lagos, Nigeria. The event has garnered strong backing from Nigeria’s Ministry of Health, led by the Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Dr. Muhammad Ali Pate, along with other key healthcare and laboratory associations. This support solidifies WHX Lagos as a pivotal event within Nigeria’s dynamic healthcare ecosystem.
The transition to WHX signifies a renewed commitment to strengthening industry connections, fostering knowledge exchange, and highlighting groundbreaking advancements in medical and laboratory technology. It underscores Informa Markets' dedication to elevating healthcare events globally and within the West African region.
"The rebranding of Medic West Africa and Medlab West Africa, after 11 successful years in Lagos, to WHX Lagos and WHX Labs Lagos marks a transformative step in bolstering the healthcare and laboratory sectors in Nigeria and the broader West African region," said Tom Coleman, Director of WHX Lagos and WHX Lab Lagos. "Building on Medic West Africa's strong legacy, this new identity reflects our commitment to providing an unparalleled platform where healthcare professionals and industry leaders can connect, innovate, and collectively shape the future of healthcare."
By bringing WHX Lagos and WHX Labs Lagos under one roof, Informa Markets has created a comprehensive event uniting healthcare professionals, manufacturers, distributors, policymakers, investors, procurement officers, and regulators. This integrated platform will offer direct access to cutting-edge medical equipment, diagnostics, pharmaceuticals, digital health solutions, and laboratory sciences, empowering attendees with the latest innovations transforming healthcare.
Cynthia Makarutse, Conference Director of WHX Lagos and WHX Lab Lagos, added: "WHX Lagos and WHX Labs Lagos will not only showcase world-class medical and laboratory technologies but, crucially, will foster vital connections and collaborations that will drive healthcare innovation across West Africa. We're significantly enhancing our conference program, creating a robust platform for critical discourse on the most pressing challenges and opportunities facing the industry.
