Hospitals are licensed facilities that provide a variety of medical and surgical services, some of which are also provided by other facilities. A distinguishing characteristic of hospitals is “inpatient care,” which refers to services where patients are admitted to a hospital to stay overnight for closer monitoring.

This market includes general hospitals, psychiatric hospitals, and specialist hospitals, which provide various services to patients, ranging from diagnostics, medical and surgical treatments, nursing and specialized accommodation to other medical services. Depending on the specific legal regulations, the medical services provided by hospitals can vary greatly from country to country. Long-term care facilities, ambulatory care providers, and medical retailers are excluded from this market.

Other Hospital Services includes hospital services that are provided outside of a basic hospital setting, e.g., day-care, long-term care, and home-based care.

    Customer preferences:
    The increasing demand for quality healthcare services from the growing population in Papua New Guinea has been a major driver of the Hospitals market. Patients are becoming more aware of the need for quality healthcare services and are willing to pay for them. Additionally, the rising incidence of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases has led to an increased need for specialized medical care.

    One of the major trends in the Hospitals market in Papua New Guinea is the increasing adoption of technology in healthcare. Hospitals are investing in modern medical equipment and adopting electronic health records to improve the quality of care and patient outcomes. Additionally, there has been a growing trend towards medical tourism, with patients from other countries seeking medical treatment in Papua New Guinea due to its lower costs and high-quality care.

    Local special circumstances:
    The healthcare industry in Papua New Guinea faces several challenges, including inadequate infrastructure, limited funding, and a shortage of skilled healthcare professionals. These challenges have led to a lack of access to quality healthcare services, particularly in rural areas. However, the government has been making efforts to address these challenges by increasing funding for healthcare and investing in infrastructure and healthcare training programs.

    Underlying macroeconomic factors:
    The Papua New Guinea economy has been growing steadily in recent years, driven by the mining and petroleum sectors.

    U.S. Hospitals - Statistics & Facts

    The healthcare landscape in the United States is a complicated one. There are federal health insurance plans for low-income individuals namely Medicaid and CHIP (Children’s health insurance program) and Medicare for seniors and the disabled. Aside from these, people must buy private health insurance or be left uninsured because the U.S. is the only high-income country without universal healthcare coverage. Hospitals in the U.S., therefore, receive payment from multiple payers. Most revenue generated by U.S. hospitals comes from private insurance, self, or other payments. The complexity of this multi-payer system is instrumental to the U.S. having the highest administrative health costs per capita among wealthy nations.
