The Healthcare group at Frost & Sullivan (http://www.healthcare.frost.com/) is pleased to announce that it will be hosting its fourth quarter analyst briefing on a Strategic Analysis of the South African Advanced Wound Care Market on 13 December 2007 at 3pm GMT / 5pm CAT.

Advanced wound care management in South Africa is moving rapidly to overtake the existing traditional wound care market in both the private and public sectors. The South African government is adopting the available technology, leading to an increased use of these dressings in the public health sector, while the more advanced private health sector is already more aware and educated about new technologies.

Highlights of this briefing will include an analysis of the current market size, market forecasts to 2012, a competitive analysis of suppliers, and a breakdown of drivers, restraints and challenges in the market. The discussion will benefit all advanced wound care product manufacturers and healthcare service providers, as they will gain an insight into the enormous potential that exists for expansion and penetration.

"With pressure on hospitals to be more time and cost efficient, advanced wound care management is emerging as a key component driving increased efficiency," notes Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Lizelle Wentzel. "Traditional wound care management is rapidly being replaced by advanced wound care technology that decreases healing time, ensures shorter hospitalisation and decreases scarring. These benefits make it highly effective in long-term cost management strategies."
