Investment in Iran's health care and hospital projectsGriffon Capital
The healthcare sector in Iran is an established market with massive growth potential expected for the near future. With due consideration for unaddressed existing demand, rising demand owing to a sizable population growth rate of 1.3%, along with growing medical tourism segment originating from neighboring countries, the opportunity for investment in this sector is compelling for investors.
Due to severe underinvestment and capital starvation in the healthcare industry during the sanctions period, the government has forecasted a $17bn investment requirement in the next five years to meet the mid term demand. Accordingly, due to lack of specialized funds and institutional investment, the government has placed a special emphasis on attracting foreign investment into Iran for development of hospital and other medical center projects.
This presentation is compiled from several sources and summarizes the health care system in Europe. Some of the information could be outdated and readers are encouraged to follow recent updates as well.
Dr. Devi Shetty founded Narayana Health (NH) in 2000 with a mission to provide affordable, high-quality healthcare to all. NH has achieved significant operational efficiencies through economies of scale, standardization, digitalization, and partnerships. It performs over 3,000 surgeries per day while maintaining global quality standards, making it one of the largest cardiac care providers worldwide. However, Dr. Shetty's vision of universal access to affordable healthcare remains unfulfilled, as he continues working to further lower costs and expand coverage through innovations like larger healthcare cities and microfinance programs.
The document provides a comparison of the healthcare systems of Japan and the United States. Japan has universal healthcare coverage that provides equal access to benefits for all citizens while controlling costs. The U.S. system views healthcare as a privilege, and many Americans are uninsured or cannot afford care. Japan has lower costs for procedures, appointments, and prescriptions than the U.S. Both systems have strengths, such as the U.S. providing high quality care and Japan providing universal coverage and cost controls, but also weaknesses like the U.S. having many uninsured and high costs and Japan having long hospital stays and overuse of services.
The Thailand HiT reports that sustained political commitment to the health of the population since the 1970s has resulted in significant investment in health infrastructure, in particular primary health care, district and provincial referral hospitals, and strengthened the overall functioning of the Thai health system. After Thailand achieved universal health coverage in 2002, public expenditure on health significantly increased from 63% to 77% and out-of-pocket expense was reduced from 27.2% to 12.4% of the total health spending in 2011.

This document provides an overview of the evolution of public health in Brazil. It discusses how Brazil transitioned from a centralized social security model in the early 20th century that covered only 30% of the population, to establishing a unified public health system (SUS) in 1988 that provides universal coverage. The SUS is a decentralized system that involves community participation and focuses on primary care. It has helped reduce mortality rates and improve access to health services. However, challenges remain around equity, quality, and non-communicable diseases.
This document discusses concepts related to health, including the definition of health as complete physical, mental, and social well-being according to the WHO. It outlines dimensions of health including physical, mental, and social health. It also discusses determinants of health including internal factors like genetics as well as external environmental, socioeconomic, and lifestyle factors. The document introduces the concepts of "Health for All" and primary health care, including principles and components of primary health care. It discusses the roles and responsibilities of individuals, communities, governments, and international organizations in health. Finally, it provides an overview of reforms needed to refocus health systems on primary health care and achieving health for all.

It also summarizes some of the key programs and activities under the 9th and 10th Malaysia Plans.
Finding the optimal price for new drugs has become challenging as drug prices face increased scrutiny globally. Pricing pressures are growing in major markets like the US, UK, China, and Japan as governments implement measures to reduce costs and improve value. Pharmaceutical companies must consider market dynamics, the innovative features of each drug, and local pricing and reimbursement policies to determine a price premium that secures access for patients while maximizing revenue.
This document analyzes Nepal's human resources for health, including production, distribution, and skill mix of health workers. It finds that Nepal faces critical shortages of health workers, especially in rural areas. While pre-service training output has increased, distribution remains uneven, with vacancies as high as 38% for doctors and 10% for nurses. The skill mix is also inadequate, with many primary health centers and rural hospitals lacking essential cadres like doctors, nurses, and technicians. Recommendations include better coordinating training with needs, strengthening workforce data and monitoring, incentivizing rural hiring, and revising staffing norms to address gaps.
Hyundai Motor Company is a South Korean automaker founded in 1967. It is the world's fifth largest automaker based on annual vehicle sales. Hyundai operates the largest car manufacturing plant in Ulsan, South Korea and employs over 75,000 people worldwide. Hyundai sells vehicles in 193 countries through 6,000 dealerships. In India, Hyundai is the second largest car manufacturer behind Maruti Suzuki and has a wide range of 8 vehicles. However, Hyundai faces threats from increased foreign competition in India and higher costs from rising commodity prices.
The document summarizes the health system of Bangladesh. It describes 3 levels of the system: primary, secondary, and tertiary. The primary level includes community clinics, union health centers, and upazila health complexes. The secondary level consists of district hospitals with 50-250 beds. The tertiary level provides specialized care through medical colleges, national hospitals, and research institutions. There are 59 medical colleges in Bangladesh, both public and private, that deliver healthcare services.
Japan has a universal healthcare system that focuses on providing coverage to all citizens. The system is paid for through taxes, payroll deductions, and co-payments. This approach aims to provide equitable access to care regardless of economic status. While Japan has lower costs, longer lifespans and better health outcomes than the U.S., its system also faces challenges around overuse of services and lack of long-term care options. The U.S. system provides high-quality care to those who can pay but leaves many uninsured and has higher costs than other countries with less effective outcomes. Both countries could improve their systems by adopting some policies from each other to increase access and reduce costs.
The document discusses the "Age of Liberalism" from 1790-1880. During this period, liberalism developed a biosocial vision that health was a responsibility of the individual. However, it became clear that equal rights did not guarantee equal health status. Edwin Chadwick developed the "sanitary idea" and believed insanitation was the universal cause of disease. This led to public health acts establishing sanitation standards and disease prevention efforts in Britain. However, many places like the US still viewed health as a private matter during this Age of Liberalism.

The document discusses primary health care (PHC) in India. It defines PHC as essential health care that is universally accessible and affordable. The ultimate goal of PHC is better health services for all through equitable distribution and community participation. The key principles of PHC outlined in the Alma-Ata Declaration include intersectoral coordination using appropriate technology. Approaches to PHC include selective PHC, which focuses on combating major diseases, and programs like GOBI-FFF that target growth monitoring, oral rehydration, breastfeeding, immunization, and other interventions. Services provided through PHC in India include maternal and child health care, immunization, disease prevention and control, and essential drug provision. PHC
Social health insurance (SHI) is a health insurance scheme that targets formal sector workers. It is funded through compulsory payroll taxes paid by both employees and employers, with premiums being income-rated so lower-income employees pay less. Germany and Belgium have classical examples where employees/employers contribute to mutual funds used to finance healthcare for the population. India has three key SHI schemes - ESIS, CGHS, and Railways Health Scheme. ESIS covers lower-paid formal sector workers through employee/employer contributions but suffers from low quality care. CGHS provides benefits to central government employees through nominal contributions but uses 18% of its budget for only 0.4% of the population. Advantages of SHI
The Australian healthcare system provides a wide range of services, from population health and prevention through to general practice and community health; emergency health services and hospital care; and rehabilitation and palliative care.
The Mankind Pharma Story by Dr. Sumit GhoshalAnup Soans
Mankind was established in 1991, almost a decade after the industry leaders of today including Dr.Reddy’s and Sun Pharma, but has grown considerably faster than its contemporaries...
One reason for this is that unlike major drug makers who have a large portfolio of hundreds of products, mankind prefers to concentrate on a much smaller number of high value products. “they don’t bother with smaller products with a potential value of less than Rs.5 crore,” says a long-time industry watcher. thus Health OK, their OTC product, which is a combination of vitamins and nutritional medicines was able to generate Rs.50 crore in revenue within a year of its launch in 2014-15.
This is also the approach adopted by some multinationals like Sanofi, whose CEO Chris Viebacher said, that his company obtained a lion’s share of its revenue from just 15 top selling patented products...
Health and development are interrelated. While wealth can positively influence health and development, other factors like public health systems, education, and social arrangements also impact development outcomes. Enhancing health is a key part of broader human development goals, which focus on expanding people's freedoms and opportunities rather than just economic growth. Measuring development requires considering multi-dimensional indicators like health, education, and living standards.
The document provides an overview of key concepts in health economics, including:
1) It discusses who has access to healthcare based on ability to pay and examines issues of equity, finance, delivery, and outcomes in healthcare systems.
2) It explores expenditures on healthcare as a percentage of GDP and characteristics of the insured population in the US.
3) It introduces basic questions of economic systems that also apply to health economics, such as what and for whom to produce, and how to achieve economic growth with scarce resources.
The document discusses the history and principles of primary health care (PHC). It begins by outlining the origins of PHC at the Alma-Ata conference in 1978 where it was established as a goal of the WHO. Key principles of PHC include equitable access, community participation, and focusing on prevention. The document then examines PHC in India, describing its establishment and evolution over time. It outlines services provided at PHC centers in India as well as ongoing challenges in effectively delivering PHC. Finally, the document argues that strengthening PHC systems combined with universal health coverage can help achieve health for all in the 21st century.
De enorme vlucht van de internet technologie maakte in theorie bijna alles mogelijk, maar zorgde hierbij ook voor toenemende complexiteit van systemen. Gebruik van de open protocollen, integreren van de systemen, installaties c.q. plant’s op afstand beheren, biedt enorm veel voordeel (concurrentie voordeel, flexibiliteit, effectiviteit). Maar het brengt ook nieuwe type risico’s met zich mee. Overal om ons heen zien we toenemende afhankelijkheid van de ICT. Dus ook in de Industrie. Dat betekent dat onze industriële systemen ook kwetsbaar worden voor risico’s die op het eerste oog niet zichtbaar zijn.
Primary care in Finland has several key principles: it is residence-based and provides universal and equal access to health services. Local municipalities are responsible for organizing primary care and some specialized care. Primary care includes services from general practitioners, nurses, dental and oral health care, maternity and child services, and some home care. Current challenges include an expanding scope of duties without additional resources, resulting in lower quality chronic care. There is also a shortage of health professionals, especially doctors and dentists. The system focuses more on planning than patients, with limited choice and influence. Efforts are underway to improve access, quality, patient-centeredness, prevention, leadership, and the role of health professionals.

The document provides information about e-health initiatives in Denmark. It discusses Denmark's public healthcare system and strategies to promote efficiency and quality, including e-health, telehealth, and patient empowerment solutions. It describes Denmark's national e-health infrastructure including electronic health records, a national health portal, and a national service platform that connects regions, municipalities, general practitioners, and hospitals. It also highlights several Danish telehealth and remote patient monitoring projects and platforms like OpenTelehealth that aim to provide personalized healthcare, especially for chronic disease patients.
HealthTech is at the forefront of startups and scaleups, in the United States as well as in Europe. There is no single European healthcare system or market. Instead, high complexity and cultural diversity of healthcare systems makes it challenging to jump into multiple markets and thus to scaleup new companies. But if you take a close look, you’ll quickly notice that there is interesting stuff happening in Europe
With this report we want to provide a comprehensive review of investment in startups and high-growth HealthTech technology companies across 31 countries in Europe. Our aim is to provide data-driven guidance, insights, perspective and inspiration to stakeholders in the European scaleup ecosystem.
Compare and Contrast: US Health Care and the Netherlands Health CareMaddox5329
The document compares the health care systems of the United States and Netherlands. It finds that while government health care expenditures as a percentage of total spending are similar between the two countries, total per capita health care expenditures are much higher in the US. The standard coverage provided in the Netherlands includes broader benefits like access to general practitioners and dental for those under 18, while out-of-pocket costs for individuals are higher as a percentage of private spending. Both countries require residents to have health insurance and penalize those who do not comply.
The document provides an overview of the Dutch healthcare system, including its financing, regulation, and introduction of competition in certain markets. Key points:
- The system relies on private health insurers and providers but with extensive government regulation focused on accessibility, affordability, and quality.
- A Dutch Healthcare Authority regulates insurers and providers to mitigate dominant market positions and initiate market reforms where possible.
- Competition was introduced for some elective hospital procedures, leading to price reductions in the competitive segment compared to the regulated segment.
- Long-term care is also being reformed, with ideas to introduce more private insurance or shift more to local government and consumer choice models.
The document discusses lessons learned from reforms to the UK National Health Service (NHS) over time. Key points include ensuring incentives are aligned for all stakeholders, recognizing the impact of unnecessary structural changes, and taking an evidence-based approach to policymaking through piloting and gradual change. The Dutch healthcare system is presented as moving to a uniform insurance system in 2006 that is funded through payroll taxes, government subsidies, and individual premiums.

This document summarizes a presentation on integrated care given at the National Healthcare Conference in 2015. It discusses different types of integrated care including horizontal, vertical, and within sectors. Integrated care aims to provide coordinated services across providers and settings to support patients. Barriers to integrated care include fragmentation, distrust, and lack of coordination between strategy and operations. National clinical programs in Ireland have led to improved outcomes for conditions like heart attacks, surgery, and stroke through more integrated models of care. However, challenges remain around resources, hierarchies, and fully implementing integrated approaches across the healthcare system.

I. The Dutch healthcare system is facing challenges as healthcare expenditures rise and the population ages, resulting in a shift from acute to chronic conditions. Healthcare performance is poor due to the planning and financing system.
II. Government intervention in prices and quantities has led to insufficient cost and quality awareness, lack of innovation, and waiting lists.
III. Stimulation of the healthcare system is needed to improve performance. This includes introducing more market forces, countervailing power between insurers and providers, and less government involvement.

This document provides a summary of key challenges and opportunities related to developing policies to support mHealth adoption. It discusses how mHealth has the potential to improve healthcare systems facing budget pressures from aging populations and chronic diseases. However, barriers include a lack of investment and policies that don't properly incentivize decentralized, patient-focused care. The document examines three major themes in mHealth policy: building infrastructure, empowering patients, and balancing centralized vs. local control. It also discusses challenges of integrating mHealth into existing healthcare systems and ensuring pilots can scale nationally. Funding incentives that could encourage mHealth include reimbursing based on health outcomes rather than services. Overall the document analyzes issues governments must address to successfully implement mHealth policies.
Professor Michael Chernew: Payment reform, competition and integrationNuffield Trust
1) Payment reform is needed to address distortions created by fee-for-service payments, such as overuse and misaligned incentives, but moving away from FFS requires greater integration among providers which could reduce competition.
2) Bundled payments that cover broader "units of service" could help coordinate care better while also improving consumers' ability to search and compare costs.
3) While competition is important to control healthcare costs, the US healthcare market has challenges such as a lack of price transparency, provider market power, and consumers having difficulty making informed choices in a complex system.
Presented at “Financial Protection and Improved Access to Health Care: Peer-to-Peer Learning Workshop Finding Solutions to Common Challenges” in Accra, Ghana, February 2016. To learn more, visit: https://www.hfgproject.org/ghana-uhc-workshop
Value in healthcare aims to improve patient outcomes while lowering costs. It rewards providers for quality rather than quantity of care. While some progress has been made through examples like integrated systems in India and Germany that lower costs through better processes, value-based care has not been widely adopted due to barriers like entrenched financial incentives that prioritize volume over value. Fully realizing value-based care requires health informatics to track outcomes, benchmarking to share best practices, alternative payment models, and delivery innovations to better coordinate care.
The document summarizes WHO's perspective on proposed reforms to Hungary's health insurance system. The WHO has two main concerns: 1) There is no logical link between the problems identified in Hungary's system and the solution of introducing competitive private health insurance. 2) Analyzing the system using labels like "Beveridge" and "Bismarck" is outdated and misleading. The WHO believes the reforms will greatly increase costs without clear benefits and that Hungary should learn from countries with similar systems rather than those proposed as models.

The document discusses the challenges facing the European medical device supply chain. It notes that the industry is facing pressures from the transition to value-based healthcare with more decision makers involved, intensifying cost pressures from payers looking to reduce costs, and stricter regulations. The supply chain must transform to address these challenges by becoming more efficient and tailored to better meet the needs of all decision makers while also reducing costs.

Integrating Financing Schemes to Achieve Universal Coverage in Thailand:Anal...CREHS
1) Thailand achieved universal health care coverage in 2002 by introducing a tax-funded universal coverage scheme that provided insurance to 47 million people not covered by other programs.
2) The universal coverage policy aimed to remove financial barriers to healthcare through tax-funding and shifting costs from out-of-pocket payments to taxes.
3) Analysis found the universal coverage policy improved equity in healthcare use and financial risk protection, with healthcare use becoming more pro-poor and out-of-pocket costs becoming less regressive over time.
