Nevada, USA—The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) will lead the Philippines’ participation in the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Global Health Conference and Exhibition and the Philippine Healthcare USA Roadshow 2025 in Las Vegas from March 3 to 7. This business mission aims to solidify the Philippines’ position as a premier provider of healthcare information management services in the US and to expand the sector’s reach into new international markets.

At HIMSS 2025, a dedicated Philippine pavilion will showcase the country’s expertise and capabilities in delivering healthcare information management services. Delegates will also have the opportunity to attend sessions that explore the latest trends and technology in healthcare information management and will engage with potential clients through business matching meetings.

This strong presence at HIMSS underscores the Philippines’ strategic ambition: to solidify its position as the premier outsourcing destination for HIMS. Taking advantage of the networking opportunities at HIMSS, the country leverages its highly skilled and professional workforce, competitive cost structure, adherence to global standards, and robust government support. This engagement is crucial to capitalize on the increasing demand for digital healthcare solutions and smart hospital technologies in North America, particularly within the US, its primary market.

Consistent participation in global exhibitions like HIMSS has yielded significant results for the Philippines. In 2024, the country generated approximately USD 53 million in export sales and secured potential investments worth USD 50 million over three years. These engagements have facilitated the expansion of several firms, which are projected to create between 2,000 and 5,000 new jobs for Filipino professionals.

Complementing the HIMSS conference and exhibition, the Philippine Healthcare USA Roadshow will feature a business forum, targeted meetings, and facility visits to leading IT and HIMS companies in Las Vegas. This roadshow is designed to provide valuable insights into industry trends, supply chain developments, technological advancements, potential partnerships, and investments opportunities, among others.

The HIMSS Global Health Conference and Exhibition is one of the world’s largest and most influential health IT events, offering Philippine companies a platform to expand their networks, secure business deals, and stay updated on emerging technologies. Through this initiative, the Philippines aims to further strengthen its presence in the North American healthcare market, reinforcing its role as a global leader in healthcare IT while driving economic growth and job creation.

The mission is co-organized with the Health Information Management Association of the Philippines (HIMAP). It receives crucial support from several government programs and agencies, including the Tatak Pinoy Strategy Program, Philippine Economic Zone Authority, Department of Information and Communications Technology, Center for International Trade Expositions and Missions, Philippine Trade and Investment Center- Los Angeles, and Philippine Honorary Consulate in Las Vegas.
