After 25 years of service, the Association of Quebec Health Industry Suppliers (AFISQ) is ending its activities.

“In recent years, it has unfortunately become increasingly difficult to provide an adequate service to members of the industry. Market players have come together and resolving issues has become increasingly complex, especially for a relatively small association like the AFISQ. The resources necessary to accomplish the mission of the Association exceed its capacities,” explained Pierre Bourgon, president of the AFISQ, in a press release on Thursday.
AFISQ has thus chosen to entrust its mission to Medtech Canada, which is the national association representing the Canadian medical technology industry. In Quebec, it has more than 369 equipment, device and service companies used in the diagnosis and treatment of illnesses and health problems.
“The transition from membership to Medtech Canada is the normal course of action,” said Mr. Bourgon.
“We believe that AFISQ’s decision to entrust us with its mission will be an opportunity to highlight the important contribution of Quebec SMEs to the activities of the Quebec health system and to strengthen the representativeness of Medtech Canada as an interlocutor key to the health supply chain,” said Benoit Larose, Vice-President Quebec of Medtech Canada.
