Healthcare, Regulatory and Reimbursement Landscape – Egypt

Feb. 27, 2013 - PRLog -- Despite a number of major socio-political issues, including widespread public discontent and political instability, Egypt’s healthcare sector will demonstrate relatively impressive growth in the future, predicts research and consulting firm GlobalData.

The company’s new report* forecasts Egypt’s pharmaceutical market to climb from a value of US$3 billion in 2012 to US$5.3 billion in 2020, while the county’s medical devices market is expected to grow from US$789m to US$1.1 billion during the same period.

Pricing policies introduced in May 2011, which linked the price of pharmaceuticals with international prices, are expected to act as a key growth driver for Egypt’s healthcare sector in the coming years.

Additionally, last October’s proposal of a new universal healthcare law that will provide health insurance coverage to the entire Egyptian population should prove a significant boost to healthcare revenue once introduced across the country.

However, the social turmoil currently permeating Egypt has given rise to a number of significant obstacles to growth. The North African nation has a population of approximately 80 million, the majority of whom are of working-age, but unemployment levels have crept up in recent years and stood at 12.5% by the end of

2012.

Political instability has also been a major problem since the revolution in January 2011. Egypt’s economy is currently facing high inflation, a weakening of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and last year the country’s fiscal deficit increased to 10% – a factor that may substantially affect how much the Egyptian government allocates to healthcare spending in the future.
