New Healthcare market report from Business Monitor International: "Egypt Pharmaceuticals & Healthcare Report Q4 2014"
Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/19/2014 -- Egypt's relative political stability will lead to a pickup in growth over the coming quarters, increasing the attractiveness of the pharmaceutical market - for which our forecast has been revised slightly upwards. The government's increased emphasis on developing the pharmaceutical sector and the announced expansion of the Medicare healthcare programme are positive developments this quarter. The challenges faced by pharmaceutical companies wishing to operate in the market are the continued presence of counterfeit medicines, poor patent enforcement and a lack of regulatory data protection.
