Local and international companies, which engage in the manufacturing, import and maintenance of biomedical equipment, have allied to establish a medical equipment assembly plant for 10 million dollars. A Chinese manufacturer of biomedical equipment, Guangzhou Wondfo Biotech, is establishing the plant with its three local distributors, including Ray EZM Import Export Plc and Delta Instrument Technology. Guangzhou Wondfo is mainly engaged in research, manufacturing and sales of point-of-care testing (POCT) instruments, POCT reagents and related products. The owners are planning to reside in the under construction Qilinto Pharmaceutical Industrial Park of the Industrial Parks Development Commission (IPDC), according to Yordanos Berhanu, the national project coordinator.
