Healthcare global trends

Population

• By 2050 earth’s population will be 9 billion

• What are today developing countries will weight for almost

75% of entire world population

- 2/3 of world population will live in Africa, Southern Asia and

Eastern Asia

- Other 10% will live in LatAm

Healthcare Expenditures

• Healthcare expenditure is basically flat in developed

countries due to the financial crisis and an already high

quality level of healthcare services

• In developing countries, on the other hand, healthcare is still

far from standards

- Healthcare expenditure: Germany 4000 US$+, UK 3000 US$ +,

China 400US$+, India 100US$+

- Not enough hospital beds, doctors and nurses

• High speed growth of healthcare expenses are expected in

developing countries based on private investment

- Either as PPP, private with GVT as payer, private directly to

patient

- Biomedical equipment sales growth >10% in China, India

World Population 2050

China….

Averages of 322 new hospitals were built each year during 1990 - 2007. This number is expected to go up to 400 annually in the next 10 years. About 30% of total investment in these new hospitals is used for purchasing of medical equipment.

The medical device market is estimated at just under US$17.1bn in 2013. This makes

China the fourth largest market in the world and the second largest in Asia behind

Japan. For the 2013-18 period, Espicom estimates market growth will continue to

average 20% per annum in local currency, equivalent to a US dollar CAGR of 18.7%,

making China one of the fastest growing markets in the world. High rates of growth

are not uncommon in the Asian region, but on the back of a huge market size, China's

growth is particularly pronounced.

Chronic diseases

Kong Lingzhi, deputy director of the disease prevention and control bureau under the Ministry of Health, made the remarks on Saturday at the Forum of Prevention and Control of Chronic Disease. "China is facing a great challenge from chronic diseases, which has a serious impact on both the economy and society," said Kong.Each year, about 3.7 million people die before they reach 60 because of chronic diseases. There are currently 200 million hypertension patients and 90 million diabetics in China, official statistics show.To address the challenge, "the government is now drafting an inter-ministerial roadmap for chronic disease intervention, which will set targets, define responsibilities and distribute guidelines for the prevention and control of chronic diseases," she said.The initiative aims to strengthen national and global monitoring and surveillance; scale up the implementation of evidence-based measures to reduce risk factors, such as tobacco use, an unhealthy diet, physical inactivity and harmful alcohol use; and improve access to cost-effective healthcare to prevent complications, disabilities and premature death.

Diabetes

China is facing an epidemic of diabetes and of diseases for which diabetes is a major risk factor, including ischemic heart disease, stroke, and chronic kidney disease, according to a massive study of nearly 100,000 Chinese adults reported in the September 4 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. Among the key points reported by Yu Xu, PhD, from the Shanghai Jiao-Tong University School of Medicine, China, and colleagues for the 2010 China Noncommunicable Disease Surveillance Group:

Diabetes prevalence was 11.6% (12.1% in men, 11.0% in women).

Two-thirds of diabetes cases were undiagnosed.

Only 25.8% of diabetics were receiving treatment.

Among those treated, fewer than 40% had adequate glycemic control.

Over half of Chinese adults were prediabetic (no prior diagnosis, but fasting plasma glucose 100 to 125 mg/dL, 2-hour plasma glucose 140 to 199 mg/dL, or HbA1c 5.7% to 6.4%).

Getting to the bottom: New thinking in healthcare financing

• Improving healthcare funding is crucial for poor countries. Insurance is often rare, with

patients using out-of-pocket payments for most healthcare. Many millions of people are

tipped into poverty every year when a family member falls seriously ill.

• Overall spending on health is tied closely to a country’s per-capita GDP and is

therefore difficult to increase. But the little money that is spent on health can be better

organised by converting out-of-pocket payments into health insurance premiums.

• Designing health insurance policies for the poor is challenging, given low incomes,

high illiteracy, and low awareness of how insurance works. But more and more micro

insurance schemes are appearing.

Page 47: Healthcare Technology Management - Geneva Association · Introducing TBS Founded in Italy with a global turnover of €232m (£165 million - 2014) managing 900K devices worldwide

Back to basics: Innovation in medical technology

• New medical technology is often designed for rich countries, making it too expensive and

inappropriate for Asia’s millions of poor. But more and more organisations are focused on

“frugal engineering”.

• “Frugal engineering” aims to make healthcare technology that is cheap, uses local

materials, can withstand tough treatment and harsh environments, is easy to repair, and is

simple to use by healthcare professionals with limited skills or training.

• Innovating for the poor often means adapting existing technology to new uses rather then

developing new technology.

Doctor dilemmas: Innovative ways of delivering healthcare

• Running clinics and hospitals is hard in many Asian countries because so many

people live in rural areas where doctors are thin on the ground. That leaves millions

of poor relying on health workers with little or no training.

• Many promising models of healthcare delivery are emerging to overcome the skills

gaps in rural areas, from harnessing mobile phones to deliver telemedicine, to

building branded franchises of clinics to improving training.

• Alongside “horizontal” models of healthcare delivery—those that address the full

range of illnesses— innovative “vertical” models are also being used that tackle

specific diseases, such as tuberculosis.
