Medic West Africa Exhibition and Congress 2013 was one of its kind in the history of healthcare in Nigeria because it

is the only platform where all the healthcare related professionals get together, network and do business. It also

focused on the education of dental professionals where it gathered the dentists from all the segments of dental

workforce together to rub minds on the latest topics and learn current trends in dental imaging.

BeyHealth Consulting is proud to be associated with the Medic West Africa Exhibition and Congress 2013. Our

phenomenal experience. Together at this year's MWA, we were able to deliver a high level of evidence-based and
