If you can do a job better than you could yesterday, especially in our industry, it’s your responsibility to do so. We are in a unique position to facilitate that sort of steady growth. I also think we will see a lot more work in the artificial intelligence space, creating products that will improve data collection, pre-op diagnostics, imaging, robotics, and more. Our industry is very mobile. It’s always evolving. Our team is very passionate- we enjoy our place in the industry and get to see some really fascinating stuff.” ORB Medical would like to conclude with their thanks to industry bodies MTANZ (Medical Technology Association of New Zealand) and IMD (Independent Medical Distributors) for their ongoing support and contributions to the medical device distribution sector in New Zealand. Mr. Willis explains, “MTANZ is the leading body that represents manufacturers, importers, and distributors like us on a national level. IMD is a group of locally owned medical distributors working all across the medical device landscape. Both are amazing supporters of our industry here in New Zealand. MTANZ pushes our many causes with government and regulatory bodies and has been doing so for many years. Their work is particularly important for us as we deal with import changes that have come about due to COVID. IMD is a collaborative group that has given myself and many others the opportunity to share our knowledge and experience with our peers- it’s a non-competitive space that is focused purely on working as a team to improve our sector. It’s a great group of people, and also offers a chance to interact socially with colleagues. In the wake of COVID, that is priceless. ORB Medical would like to extend our gratitude to both organisations, and also to our staff, our suppliers, and our wider industry network.” PREFERRED VENDOR/PARTNER n BlueOcean www.blueocean.consulting
