Definition:
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.

Structure:
The Hospitals market is divided into three categories: Inpatient Care, Outpatient Care, and Other Hospital Services. Inpatient Care comprises all the medical and surgical services that are provided to patients who are admitted to a hospital for an overnight stay. Outpatient Care covers all medical and surgical services that are provided to patients without having to spend the night in a hospital. 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.

The healthcare industry in Zimbabwe has been facing challenges due to political and economic instability. Despite this, the Hospitals market in Zimbabwe has been developing in recent years.

Customer preferences: Zimbabweans have a high demand for quality healthcare services. Due to the shortage of healthcare facilities in the country, patients often have to travel long distances to access medical care. As a result, there is a growing preference for hospitals that offer a wide range of medical services under one roof. Patients also prefer hospitals that have modern medical equipment and highly skilled medical personnel.

Trends in the market: The Hospitals market in Zimbabwe has been growing due to the increasing demand for medical services. Private hospitals have been leading the growth as they offer better quality services compared to public hospitals. Private hospitals have been investing in modern medical equipment and highly skilled medical personnel to attract more patients. There has also been a growing trend of medical tourism, where patients from neighboring countries come to Zimbabwe for medical treatment.

Local special circumstances: The healthcare industry in Zimbabwe has been facing challenges due to political and economic instability. The shortage of foreign currency has made it difficult for hospitals to import medical equipment and drugs. The shortage of medical personnel has also been a challenge, as many doctors and nurses have emigrated to other countries in search of better opportunities. The government has been trying to address these challenges by investing in the healthcare sector and offering incentives for medical personnel to stay in the country.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: The Hospitals market in Zimbabwe has been influenced by macroeconomic factors such as inflation and foreign currency shortages. The high inflation rate has made it difficult for hospitals to maintain their operations and invest in modern medical equipment. The shortage of foreign currency has also made it difficult for hospitals to import medical equipment and drugs. The government has been implementing policies to address these challenges, such as introducing a foreign currency auction system to increase the availability of foreign currency.

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.
