Trade delegations are an important promotional tool for the implementation of export strategy and the achievement of the objectives like maximization of exports and market shares, promotion of new & medium to small size exporters, increasing geographical spread in developed countries, etc. The Surgical Instrument Manufacturers Association of Pakistan in collaboration with Trade Development Authority of Pakistan tries to send its trade delegations to penetrate existing markets and explore new ones to enhance exports from Pakistan.

Keeping in view the potential markets in view, SIMAP submitted its plan to TDAP for trade delegations to United Kingdom, South Korea & Japan, Australia, and Brazil, Argentina & Chile which were approved. Surgical Association invited applications from the members through its Monthly bulletin. The Departmental Committee on Trade Delegations made selection of applicant delegates under set criteria and concerted deliberations.
