Healthcare Industry Panel

The healthcare sector serves one of the fastest growing markets worldwide. Over the next decade, further revenue and employment growth is expected in all areas of the healthcare industry. Their services ensure prosperity of employees and patient quality of life and contribute significantly to the performance of the population. Germany is the third largest healthcare market in the world. The German health care industry is a dynamic sector of the economy with high innovative power and considerable economic importance. Latin America has a growing middle class, so along with rising health consciousness and increasing investments from governments, the health care markets are growing steadily. The challenges of sustainable growth and comprehensive quality health infrastructure and services in the health system in Latin America demand combined forces of state and private actors - both nationally and internationally. The German Healthcare Partnership, a strategic alliance between the Federation of German Industries (BDI) and the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), combines the expertise and resources of the German health care industry with those of politics - from strategic planning, - for example: expansion, rehabilitation and equipping of hospitals on the development of staff to management - and is an ideal partner for the development and expansion of health care in Latin America.
