The Economic Research and Analytics group at Frost & Sullivan is pleased to announce that it will be hosting its first quarter analyst briefing on Trends and Emerging Opportunities in the Russian Healthcare Industry on 12 February 2008 at 4pm GMT / 11am EST.

The Russian healthcare industry has been experiencing robust growth, driven by the government's initiatives to improve the country's healthcare system. Recent developments such as an improvement in primary care, the efficient implementation of insurance and an increase in healthcare funding are expected to lift the country's ailing healthcare system further. In addition, the changing demographics and increasing prevalence of lifestyle diseases are driving the demand for healthcare products and services.

The country is also a favoured destination for clinical trial outsourcing. Foreign investment is slowly picking up in Russia and this market currently provides significant opportunities for mergers and acquisition.

This briefing will focus on current trends in the various Russian healthcare industry segments such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical devices, and clinical trials. Additionally, it will highlight future prospects and growth opportunities in these segments. The discussion will benefit drug and medical devices manufacturers, distributors and retailers, research organisations, healthcare outsourcing organisations and health insurance companies.

"Russia is in the process of reforming its healthcare system," notes Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Somya Datta. "The plan is to remove redundancies in the healthcare infrastructure and make provision for the delivery of quality healthcare. This will enable the Russian healthcare industry to enhance its position among the BRIC nations."
