The portfolio covers everything from planning and conception (design) of the hospitals and other medical faculties of all kinds including shipment, installation, training and maintenance of the medical technical equipment as well as inpatient and outpatient treatment of dialysis patients – from a single source.

Furthermore the exhibition offered a unique forum to present and explain the possibilities and advantages of German export credit financing by HERMES (German Export Credit Agency) to the expert audience. The event was met by considerable interest as evidenced in the many discussions afterwards.

The pools themselves are equipped with underwater training equipment and also with units for hydrotherapeutic treatment. Beyond the usual range of classical physiotherapy and rehabilitation, innovative technology helps to determine the persons’ fitness and define the required type as well as effectiveness and intensity of appropriate exercises.

The “Health -2018” international exhibition traditionally has been held on the 20^th -22^nd of July in the Turkmen capital, Ashgabat. The exhibition offers specialists the opportunity to become aware of advanced methods and services in the medical industry. It is thus honour and tradition for hospitalia international among other medical and pharmaceutical companies, who are specialized in different branches of medicine and medical industry, to take part in this event.

hospitalia international gmbh opened its new office on 12.09.2017 within Magdalena del Mar, a district of the Peruvian capital Lima. After several years the company returns to Latin America to build on previous successes.

Following its foundation in 1964 hospitalia international gmbh started activities in Peru and supported the government of the time in the development of a health infrastructure to the benefit of the Peruvian population. From Callao to La Unión more than 20 hospitals plus 50 rural medical and 50 sanitary stations as well as 11 health centers in the countryside were fully equipped providing primary care to the rural population. Building on this successful start very many projects all over Latin America followed.

The ceremonial opening of the Branch Office took place in presence of numerous invited guests that demonstrated great interest in the activities of hospitalia international. Among the guests were construction companies, medical equipment manufacturers, suppliers and agents, representatives of several provincial governments as well as the managing director of the German-Peruvian Chamber of Commerce and Industry who also represented the German Embassy in the gathering.

The ISO 9001 which defines the requirements for quality management systems has been thoroughly revised and was finally published in September 2015. All organizations certified according to this standard now have a maximum period of three years to adapt their quality management system to the revised standard.

hospitalia international gmbh has modified its quality management system to comply with the new requirements and successfully passed recertification in February 2017. The new certificate is valid as of 12.03.2017 for the usual period of three years.

In Ashgabat, the capital of Turkmenistan, as yet does not exist a hospital which is dedicated exclusively to neurology. In some of the hospitals respective departments exist but there is no specialized institution as such.

The new center for neurology which currently is under construction shall concentrate all possibilities for an optimum treatment of patients in one facility. In total the hospital will have 146 beds, thereof 80 bariatric and 24 intensive care beds, For medical diagnostics and treatment a MRT 3.5 Tesla, which will then be the largest MRT installed in Turkmenistan, two operating theaters as well as two angiography systems will be supplied, among other medical equipment.

Furthermore, a very large physiotherapy department is foreseen, offering very many and different treatment options which go beyond the usual range of classical  physiotherapy. The focus is particularly on patients who need to learn everything anew from very beginning. So for motion sequences and learning of how to walk there will be a number of treadmills available, some of them with particular appliances for patients unable to stand upright without support, balance trainers, etc. A special feature is certainly an especially equipped kitchen which was very important to the hospital. Moreover, a separate area is dedicated to language therapy.

hospitalia international has signed the contract for the supply of the medical equipment with the Turkish main contractor who is responsible for the construction part of the project. The opening of the Neurology Center is scheduled to take place on occasion of the annual exhibition "Health" in July 2016 in Ashgabat.

In the beginning of 2016 the plans of the Turkmen Ministry of Health for the establishment of a morphology center in Ashgabat further materialize. The construction, executed by a Turkish construction company, steadily advances, and also the contract for the medical equipment has now been signed between the main contractor and hospitalia international.

The Morphology Center is the very first facility of its kind in Turkmenistan and comprises a combination of

- university education, i.e. training of doctors in the field of anatomy,
- pathology, i.e. classical tissue removal and examination up to determination of DNA,
- forensics, i.e. classical autopsy and determination of the cause of death using modern chromatography technique.

Without doubt the highlight within the anatomy are the virtual workplaces. This means that the future pathologists and forensic doctors may undertake virtual examinations on the basis of the three dimensional anatomic presentation of the human body.

The forensics enable the proof of e.g. drugs, alcohol and other toxic substances through latest-state-of-the-art chromatography systems as well as virtual autopsy with a CT. Furthermore, a top modern electronic system for face reconstruction is available.

The opening of the Morphology Center is scheduled to take place on occasion of the annual exhibition "Health" in July 2016.

The in-bed capacity was increased to 165 beds and also the respective diagnostic and therapeutic departments as well as specific laboratories were enlarged accordingly. Thus this hospital is now one of the most modern facilities of its kind in the area.
