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.

    Analyst Opinion

    The healthcare industry in Egypt has been growing rapidly in recent years. With a population of over 100 million people, it is the third most populous country in Africa, and the demand for healthcare services is high. In this context, the Hospitals market in Egypt has been developing in a certain way.

    Customer preferences:
    Egyptian customers prefer healthcare services that are affordable, accessible, and of high quality. They value healthcare providers who offer a wide range of services, including preventive care, diagnostic services, and treatment options. Additionally, they prefer hospitals that have modern facilities and equipment, and that are staffed by well-trained and experienced healthcare professionals.

    Trends in the market:
    The Hospitals market in Egypt has been growing steadily in recent years, driven by several factors. One of the key drivers is the increasing demand for healthcare services due to the country's growing population and aging demographics. Another factor is the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, which require ongoing medical care and treatment.In response to these trends, many hospitals in Egypt are expanding their services and facilities to meet the growing demand. They are investing in new technologies and equipment, and hiring more healthcare professionals to provide specialized care. Additionally, many hospitals are adopting new models of care, such as telemedicine and home healthcare, to improve access to care for patients who live in remote or underserved areas.

    Local special circumstances:
    Egypt faces several unique challenges in the healthcare industry, including a shortage of healthcare professionals, uneven distribution of healthcare resources across the country, and a high burden of communicable diseases such as hepatitis and tuberculosis. Additionally, the country has been facing economic challenges in recent years, which has put pressure on the healthcare system and made it difficult for some hospitals to invest in new technologies and facilities.

    Underlying macroeconomic factors:
    The Egyptian economy has been growing steadily in recent years, but it still faces several challenges, including high inflation, high unemployment, and a large public debt. These factors have put pressure on the healthcare system, making it difficult for some hospitals to invest in new technologies and facilities. However, the government has been taking steps to address these challenges, including implementing economic reforms and investing in the healthcare system. As a result, the Hospitals market in Egypt is expected to continue growing in the coming years, driven by increasing demand for healthcare services and ongoing investments in the healthcare industry.

    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.
