In addition to this, MATRADE and Medical Device Authority (MDA) both provided information and updates regarding global market demand for medical devices, and regulatory changes and updates on the domestic sector. The event was attended and graced by YB Dr. Ong Kian Ming, Deputy Minister of International Trade & Industry and Pn. Sharimahton Mat Salleh, Deputy CEO of MATRADE.
