Pulse at MedExpo Africa 2026: Opening Doors in East Africa
Two months after Dubai, the Pulse team headed to Nairobi for MedExpo Africa 2026, one of East Africa's largest medical trade shows. Here is the event, the team, and why Africa matters to Pulse.
Pulse exhibited at MedExpo Africa 2026, the 26th Medexpo Kenya, held from 22 to 24 April 2026 at the Sarit Expo Centre in Nairobi. Co-founders Nishant Goel and Anshul Sharma led the Pulse team at the booth, meeting doctors, hospital teams and distributors from Kenya and the wider East African region.
What Is MedExpo Africa (Medexpo Kenya)?
Medexpo Kenya, also promoted as MedExpo Africa, is an annual international trade exhibition for medical and healthcare products in Nairobi. It describes itself as East Africa's largest event of its kind. The 2026 show was the 26th edition, with exhibitors from more than 25 countries, including India, Turkey, Pakistan, China and Italy, and visitors from across East and Central Africa.

At the Pulse Booth
Co-founders Nishant Goel and Anshul Sharma led the team in Nairobi. Over three days, they spoke with doctors, hospital teams and distributors, walked them through Pulse products and answered their questions.
In the team's words: "Every conversation at the Pulse booth opened doors to new ideas, partnerships, and opportunities to create greater healthcare impact across borders."
Why East Africa Matters for Pulse
Kenya's healthcare system faces rising demand from a growing, more urban population and a higher burden of non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and kidney disease. That means more hospitals, more diagnostic and specialist services, and more need for equipment that works reliably and is properly serviced.
- Reliable equipment at fair prices. Many hospitals want equipment that is dependable without paying premium-brand prices.
- Service and spare parts. Buyers care as much about after-sales support as about the machine itself.
- A regional hub. Nairobi is growing as a centre for medical trade in East Africa, so one show reaches buyers from several countries.
These are the same things Pulse focuses on in India, from critical care and dialysis to complete hospital setup. Read about the show before it: Pulse at WHX Dubai 2026.
