Latest research report by Mc Kinsey & Company estimates that healthcare sector in the Persian Gulf countries will reach US$60 billion in 2025, up from US$12 billion today.  No other region in the world faces such a rapid growth. Treatment demand alone is expected to grow 240% in the next 20 years.

This will create new opportunities for healthcare related ICT solutions and services. In particular the report cites IT systems that report clinical quality and financial data at the procedure, department and institutional levels creating transparency for decision makers on current performance and areas of improvement. Also clinical vertical software applications that address specific areas such as diabetes, heart diseases, remote monitoring and cancer screenings are in great demand.

You can find the Mc Kinsey report from:

Better way to understand the current situation in the financial crisies if we collect the ”facts & feelings” from the field. That is why, we with some collegues conducted a survey as follows

  • The covered sectors were:  Construction,  Logistics & Machinery sector
  • The geographical coverage was Central and Southeast  Europe: Austria, Czech Republic,  Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria & Turkey

Some main findings:


 
More details are coming soon!
