Saudi Arab is amongst the world’s fastest growing healthcare markets, and the biggest factor spurring this growth is the rapidly expanding population of the country, according to “Saudi Arabian Healthcare Market Forecast to 2012”, a new research report by RNCOS.
The report finds that despite healthy investment in new bed installations, the rate of population growth has significantly outpaced the rate of bed growth from early 1990s to 2008, leading to a fall in the bed to population ratio from 2.55 beds per thousand population to the present 2.36 beds per thousand population.
Currently, the country is witnessing maximum growth in the population segment at or above 65 years of age. The report forecasts this population segment to expand by 15% between 2008 and 2012, outpacing the 10% increase in the total population. With increasing aging population, the prevalence of a number of chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular and dementia will grow exponentially in future. This will significantly push the demand for hospital services, pharmaceuticals and medical devices in future.
Apart from the shortage of beds, the fast expanding population will also create a shortage of healthcare professionals in the country. Most of the healthcare professionals in the country are foreign nationals with high turnover rates. As a result, the government has taken a number of steps to improve its medical education infrastructure. However, the number of medical graduates passing out in the foreseeable future is not likely to match the demand emerging from the ever-increasing population. This will open up big opportunities for the education services market in Saudi Arab.
“Saudi Arabian Healthcare Market Forecast to 2012” gives an extensive and objective analysis on the Saudi Arab healthcare market. It has segmented the healthcare industry under the heads hospital services, pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Analysis as well as statistics on these segments regarding the market size, demand, supply, segmentation and key players has been given in this report.
An analysis on the future directions, supplemented with both facts and figures has also been done by the report. Thus, the research study serves as a useful guide for healthcare companies, government officials, consultants and investors who are planning to foray into the Saudi Arab healthcare market.http://www.rncos.com/ |

Discover the true meaning of yoga With Swami Ramdev
|
|
|
In taking any modern yoga class, you will find parallels to ballet. Like ballet, the promise of poise, grace and flexibility encourages much interest. Yet if yoga is like any other exercise, it is only at first glance. Underneath the coveted health and fitness benefits of modern yoga practice are the roots of a great spiritual tradition blending cultures and religions.
Asanas urge us to see our body as divine, and to nurture health in this mortal temple. Yogic adepts understand that their body is flawed, however slender and toned it may look externally. This acknowledgement leads to less judgement of other�s bodies. However pleasing to the eye a yogis shape may be, the same vedic texts that encourage the practice of yoga for health, also remind us that true �liberation� comes from being free of the cycle of rebirth-free of the physical form.
Yogic postures work in contrast to the western notion of exercise. Here we see exercise as an end, such as an end to overweight and fatigue. Yoga is different. While in most forms of exercise the physical results are the sole goal, in yoga the soul is the goal. The ancient tradition of yoga exercise stands apart in its doctrines. The ancient yoga texts insist that the mind and spirit are more important than the physical body. While many other eastern forms of mind-body fitness also encourage this awareness, no other physical practice has the ultimate goal of union with the divine. In yoga, the process of attaining this union is as important as the actual attainment.
Yoga practice is not a means to an end. It is an end in of itself. Even distinguished from vedas and sutras, the modern practice of yoga posture is a beautiful and calming pursuit. Though modern yoga practice makes little mention of the scriptures that it is based on, the experience of union and compassion can be woven into each pose. In doing this we are enhancing more than our practice, we are improving our life.

RNCOS Releases a New Report- Japanese Generic Market Forecast to 2013
|
|
|
According to “Japanese Generic Market Forecast to 2013”, a new research report by RNCOS, Japan promises to be one of the most lucrative generic markets in the world. Between 2005 and 2008, the Japanese generics market grew at a CAGR of around 7.5% to register Ą 333 Billion (US$ 3.5 Billion) in revenue.
The Japanese market is characterized by a strong support by the government, which in a desperate bid to limit its healthcare costs, is introducing a number of generic-friendly policies. Other factors such as a large number of patent expiries and the largely un-penetrated nature of the market are also contributing towards the market growth.
The generic market is presently dominated by domestic manufacturers, with the top six manufacturers accounting for 56% of the total market in 2007. But opening up of the market and introduction of a number of generic-friendly reforms is attracting a number of foreign players in the market.
Despite such a big opportunity for future, the market also has a number challenges to deal with. Generic drugs are still regarded as cheap, low quality alternatives of branded drugs. Thus, both physicians and patients are skeptic regarding their safety and efficacy. A number of awareness and educational programs, however, are expected to increase their awareness in future.

RNCOS Releases a New Report- Global Cancer Treatment Forecast to 2012
|
|
|
RNCOS has recently added a new Market Research Report titled, "Global Cancer Treatment Forecast to 2012" to its report gallery. This report is a comprehensive study on the global cancer market and gives statistics and analysis on cancer prevalence, market size, market structure, key drug segments, market share of key players and drugs, major opportunity areas and trends in technology development. Both the past and current market trends have been covered in the report along the factors that are expected to impact the market in future. This report provides answers to a number of questions vital for firms looking for making an investment into the sector.
Other than this, the shooting rate of Internet adoption across the world and rising threats on Internet (like malware, spam and hack attacks) are bolstering the demand for IT security solutions. Moreover, IT security attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated, requiring continuous monitoring and updating the existing IT security solutions.
High number of unmet needs and an ever-increasing prevalence of cancer has created a gold rush among drug companies to enter the cancer market. Here, launching a drug successfully is risky, however, if launched, commercial gains completely surpass the expenditures incurred.
Cancer represents the fastest growing therapy segment in the pharmaceutical market. This segment has become the centre of focus for drug firms and investors, and has garnered more attention than any other therapy segment; nearly every mid-size and large pharmaceutical/biotech company today is linked to a cancer pipeline.
Drugs available in the market today do give some respite to patients but fail to address a number of complications. So manufacturers are working to solve the problem and in future, we may see a number of drug launches which will significantly reduce the complications and increase life expectancy significantly.
Key Findings
- From more than 12 Million newly diagnosed cancer cases in 2007, the number of newly diagnosed global cancer cases is expected to reach over 17 Million by 2020.
- Growing at a CAGR of 12.3% between 2007 and 2012, the global market for cancer drugs is expected to cross US$ 78 Billion by 2012.
- Cancer vaccines and antiangiogenics will record the fastest growth rate between 2007 and 2012.
- Drug manufactures are now focused on developing target therapies. These drugs attack target cells and thus limit the severity of side effects.
- The US is the largest market for cancer drugs, followed by Europe and Japan.
- Drugs for cancer represent the largest therapy area under clinical development; however, when it comes to approval rates, drugs for cancer have the worst approval rates.
Key Issues Analyzed
- Evaluation of past, current and future market trends.
- Discussion on major cancer drugs and their markets.
- Future forecast of the cancer market.
- Analysis of various challenges and opportunities for the industry.
- Categories of players operating in the market and their present and future revenue forecast.
