TechNavio today launched its report, Healthcare ICT Market in the MENA Region 2012-2016, based on an in-depth analysis covering the Middle East and North Africa. The report aims to aid decision makers’ understanding of the present and future landscape of the market.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio’s IT Services team said: ”Currently, the adoption of telemedicine is a growing trend in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. It is an essential solution to eliminate geographical barriers and increase access to medical services in distant and rural parts of Africa. The introduction of telemedicine in remote clinics facilitates the availability of medical expertise through physicians located in distant regions, as they can hear and see the condition of patients and respond to them. The two areas that are the most suitable for the adoption of telemedicine are ophthalmology and radiology. Moreover, as a result of the increasing adoption of broadband services across the MENA region, bandwidth should no longer be a hindrance for the development of telemedicine.”
According to the report, one of the major drivers in this market is the increase in governmental support in many countries. The governments of different countries in the MENA region are trying to achieve cohesive healthcare delivery structures to improve the overall quality of patient care. The various initiatives taken by these governments include providing policy incentives, establishing high-tech zones, and providing development funding.
Further, the report reveals that the lack of standardization in healthcare organizations is one of the major challenges confronting this market.
The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.
