Is there a market for medical capital equipment in Africa?
The are many reasons why the market for captial medical eqipment in Africa will remain very small for the forseeable future. First, and foremost, there are not enough skilled technicians to operate and repair the equipment. If there were skilled technicians the availability of parts would still limit the market. There is a great need for capital medical equipment, thereby some hospitals and some countries will have them. But the demand will always be limited until the population attracts and retains skilled workers. Africa also has a huge demand on it’s resources by a large number of patients needing basic medical procedures and attention. Sources: In my opinion, the market for capital medical equipment in Africa is very small.
