Israel borders Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Egypt and the Mediterranean Sea. Lying within its borders are areas that the Palestinians claim as their own; the threat of terrorism dominates the political landscape.
Israel has the largest medical device market in the Middle East region and this is set to grow at an attractive rate of 6.1% in the medium term. Much of the market, at over 80%, is supplied by imports, and a significant portion of these in value terms are dominated by "high-end" products falling under the diagnostic imaging apparatus category.
In terms of expenditure, Israel spends around 8.0% of total GDP on healthcare, and per capita spending rates are considered high by regional and world standards. Much of spending is in the public sector and the government has made allowances in recent years to expand the number of services and treatment offered by public health insurance programmes. The country also has a rapidly growing elderly demographic that is contributing to rising healthcare costs.
