New Healthcare research report from Business Monitor International is now available from Fast Market Research

 

Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/22/2015 -- The competitiveness of Iraq's pharmaceutical sector, as well as the ability of the government to ramp up healthcare investment , is linked to oil prices and additional foreign investment, which is, in turn, highly dependent on the security situation. The long-term prospects for the Iraqi pharmaceutical and healthcare markets therefore remain promising given rising healthcare expenditure and population growth. The Iraqi government reportedly pledged to invest USD12bn into healthcare expansion in 2014 , and the Ministry of Health recently awarded 18 health project contracts worth USD276mn. In the short term however, numerous factors will continue to hamper market growth , such as expected further political unrest with accompanying high levels of violence and even the possibility of a partition of the country.
