About this expo
WHX Johannesburg 2026, part of the World Health Expo (WHX), continues the legacy of Africa Health and Medlab Africa as a premier event for the healthcare industry. This annual exhibition is designed as a central hub where healthcare business, innovation, and opportunities converge, fostering connections among buyers, distributors, healthcare leaders, and solution providers. It plays a crucial role in driving the future of healthcare across Southern Africa, leveraging its position within the world's largest network of healthcare events.

These include medical devices and equipment, disposables and consumer goods, orthopaedics and physiotherapy/rehabilitation, imaging and diagnostics, healthcare and general services, IT systems and solutions, healthcare infrastructure and assets, wellness and prevention, and preventative and post-diagnostic treatments. Exhibitors gain significant value through opportunities to forge partnerships, strike deals, showcase innovations, and connect with manufacturers, suppliers, and healthcare brands seeking distribution partners throughout South Africa.
The event targets a broad audience of healthcare professionals, including decision-makers, innovators, global suppliers, buyers, distributors, and solution providers. Past editions, such as Africa Health and Medlab Africa 2024 in Cape Town, attracted over 7,000 attendees and featured more than 500 exhibitors from over 55 countries.
