Guide for Investors in Private Health Care in Emerging Markets
Introduction
The private health sector is growing rapidly in emerging market countries. Across the developing world, people increasingly rely on private health care organizations to address their health needs. This trend will continue due to the fundamentals that drive demand – population growth, increasing life expectancy, growing disease burdens, and patients’ demand for treatment.
As a result the private health sector in emerging markets can offer attractive returns to investors – from both commercial and social perspectives.
The sector is not without its challenges. Consequently, financial institutions, that often are unfamiliar with its characteristics and dynamics, perceive it as risky. As a result, many private health care organizations in developing countries, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), remain underfinanced and constrained from achieving their full potential.
The Guide for Investors in Private Health Care in Emerging Markets is intended primarily for potential investors and financiers, such as commercial banks, investment funds, microfinance institutions (MFIs), leasing companies, and other types of financial institutions. Reflecting the typical profile of the sector, the guide focuses mainly on health care SMEs. It aims to reveal potential market opportunities, to promote understanding of the most common business models, and to assist investors in how to identify opportunities and evaluate potential projects. It also discusses the most common risks and barriers that face
investors in the sector as well as ways to manage these risks and overcome barriers.
In order to achieve these aims, the guide makes extensive use of practical case studies which draw from real-life experiences. Other sources of relevant information, including sector data and website resources, are included in the annexes.
IFC hopes, by sharing this relevant market intelligence and key insights and experience, to encourage greater investment in this important sector.
