Abstract
Includes 3 quarterly updated outlook reports!
The Slovak Republic is geographically well-placed in central Europe, bordering
the Czech Republic, Poland, Ukraine, Hungary and Austria. The capital is
Bratislava. The population is estimated at 5.5 million in 2009 and is ageing
at a steady rate, in common with other European countries. Slovakia joined the
EU in May 2004 and adopted the euro as its currency in January 2009.
Funding for healthcare in Slovakia is principally through the health insurance
system. The Slovak healthcare system is still very much in the public sector,
although the majority of pharmacies and health spas are now privately-owned.
Slovakia spends around 7.0% of GDP on healthcare.
In 2009, the Slovak market for medical equipment and supplies is estimated at
US$455 million, or US$83 per capita. It is expected that the device market
will continue to expand at a rate of 8.9% per annum, to be valued at US$697
million, or US$129 per capita by 2014.
Around 65% of the medical device market is supplied by imports. Germany, the
USA and Switzerland were the leading suppliers in 2007, accounting for almost
40% of imports. Imports have recovered well since the economic slump of the
late 1990s.
