The Anti-Rheumatic Drugs market in Zimbabwe has been steadily growing in recent years, driven by a combination of factors such as increasing prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis and rising healthcare expenditure.
Customer preferences: Patients in Zimbabwe suffering from rheumatoid arthritis prefer anti-rheumatic drugs that are both effective and affordable. As a result, the demand for generic drugs has been on the rise in the country. Patients also prefer drugs that have minimal side effects and are easy to administer.
Trends in the market: The Anti-Rheumatic Drugs market in Zimbabwe has been witnessing a shift towards biologic drugs. Biologic drugs are more effective in treating rheumatoid arthritis than traditional disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs). However, biologic drugs are more expensive than DMARDs and are not easily accessible to the majority of the population in Zimbabwe. This has led to a growing disparity in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis between the rich and the poor.
Local special circumstances: The healthcare system in Zimbabwe has been facing significant challenges in recent years, including a shortage of medical personnel, inadequate infrastructure, and limited funding. These challenges have impacted the availability and accessibility of anti-rheumatic drugs in the country. The majority of the population in Zimbabwe relies on public healthcare facilities, which are often under-resourced and unable to provide adequate treatment for rheumatoid arthritis.
Underlying macroeconomic factors: Zimbabwe's economy has been struggling in recent years, with high inflation rates and a shortage of foreign currency. This has led to a decline in the value of the Zimbabwean dollar and a rise in the prices of imported goods, including pharmaceuticals. The government has been implementing various measures to address the economic challenges, including currency reforms and austerity measures. However, these measures have had limited success in stabilizing the economy and improving access to healthcare services.
