From June 2 to 4, 2026, ‌West Africa International Healthcare Exhibition (WHX Lagos 2026)‌ was held at the Landmark Event Centre in Lagos, Nigeria. As the largest medical industry event in scale in West Africa, this edition gathered more than 500 exhibitors from over 40 countries worldwide, and more than 8,000 hospital procurement leaders and medical device agents from West Africa attended for business matchmaking. AnsenMedical participated in the exhibition with its core products including battery-powered bone tissue surgical equipment, polymer bandages and splints. During the three-day exhibition, it carried out in-depth exchanges with medical peers from Nigeria and other West African countries, laying a solid foundation for its further deep cultivation of the West African market in the future.

With a population of over 220 million, Nigeria is the largest economy in West Africa. More than 85% of the country's local medical devices and consumables rely on imports, the average annual growth rate of its medical market exceeds 11%, and the market size is expected to break through 730 million US dollars in 2026. The huge gap of rigid demand and continuously increasing medical investment have made Nigeria an important springboard for domestic Chinese medical device enterprises to enter the West African market. AnsenMedicalparticipation in this exhibition is precisely to gain an in-depth understanding of the real needs of this market through face-to-face communication.

At the exhibition site, AnsenMedicaltwo core products both received positive market feedback. Despite the limited consumption level of the local orthopedic device market, the battery-powered bone tissue surgical equipment still won recognition from a number of professional customers, thanks to its differentiated advantages such as no need for an external power supply, support for multiple operations on a single charge, lightweight body, and easy operation. Meanwhile, in response to the hot and humid climate in West Africa: traditional plaster bandages have poor air permeability and cause strong discomfort when worn, while Ansen's polymer bandage and splint series feature light weight, good air permeability, showerable design, and X-ray permeability, which are more in line with the actual needs of local patients and won positive comments from numerous professional visitors.

This participation marks AnsenMedicalfirst systematic presence in West Africa. From on-site product demonstrations to clinical case sharing, the team has won the trust of local customers with sincerity and professionalism. Looking forward, the company is willing to rely on its existing product system and after-sales service capabilities to establish long-term stable cooperative relationships with partners in West Africa, enabling more patients to access practical and reliable orthopedic products.
