Ruled by China since 1997, Hong Kong acts as a hub for trade throughout the region, and especially as a conduit for trade in and out of the People's Republic of China, although this role has arguably lost some of its importance due to the rapid business development on the mainland.
As one of the richest parts of Asia, healthcare provision is of a high standard. The public health sector, modelled on the UK system, is strong, although attempts have been made by the government to promote the private sector to relieve pressure on services.
The bulk of imports tends to be the more expensive advanced medical equipment, much of which is re-exported with only a small proportion intended for domestic use.
The Hong Kong market for medical equipment and supplies was estimated at US$352 million in 2008, equal to US$50 per capita. It is expected that the device market will expand at a rate of 9.9% per annum, reaching US$562 million, or US$78 per capita by 2013.
