Philips’ Cape Town to Cairo roadshow is back for the sixth consecutive year! This year too, the roadshow will continue to listen to the markets and focus on advancing healthcare and energy efficient lighting solutions.
On Monday 11th May, Philips will embark on its annual journey across the African continent, covering 12,000 km, 11 cities and 8 countries over a period of 4.5 months.
The roadshow’s ambition from the beginning has been to collaborate and engage with customers, government, NGOs and media on challenges facing Africa. This has included – Mother and Child Care, the rise of non-communicable diseases, energy efficient LED and solar lighting solutions, as well as shining a spotlight on the need for clinical education and training.
During the 2014 roadshow, Philips and the University of Johannesburg (UJ) inaugurated a high-tech Medical Simulation Lab to support clinical education; providing medical students direct access to real life situations, and technical know-how behind medical equipment in a contained setting.
