The WHX World Health Expo – formerly Africa Health – is held annually at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) in Cape Town and is considered one of Africa's most important international medical trade fairs. As a trade fair, it attracts decision-makers from hospitals, public health services, and the private sector. It is organized by Informa, primarily for exhibitors seeking partners, dealers, or distributors.

The trade fair showcases the latest technologies and services in the medical and pharmaceutical sectors. The focus is on medical equipment and devices, disposables, consumer goods, orthopedics, physiotherapy, imaging, diagnostics, IT systems, solutions, as well as infrastructure and facilities for healthcare institutions. Special emphasis is also given to healthcare, services, and medical laboratories.

With its modern and internationally recognized facilities, the CTICC offers optimal conditions for exhibiting innovative products and services. The location in Cape Town ensures easy accessibility for visitors from Southern Africa.

The supporting program includes a diverse conference program, led by Informa, featuring expert lectures, workshops, and panel discussions. These are designed to deepen expertise and shed light on the latest scientific findings and industry trends.
