Recently published research from Business Monitor International, "Algeria Pharmaceuticals & Healthcare Report Q1 2015", is now available at Fast Market Research

Boston, MA -- (SBWire) -- 12/08/2014 --Against a backdrop of economic growth, the Algerian government commitment to expand and upgrade medical coverage and healthcare services in Algeria will translate in growing commercial opportunities for pharmaceutical and healthcare industries over the medium term. Also, the government's new five-year investment plan to be implemented in 2015-2019 will focus on diversifying the economy through the promotion of industrial development, including the pharmaceutical industry. In line with such broader investment plan, the Algerian government recently signed an agreement with US multinational firm General Electric to support the modernization of the health system, and will continue promoting investment opportunities and conducting meetings with potential business partners from different countries. However, Algeria's weak intellectual property protection, approval delays for patented and imported products and restrictions on foreign investments will continue to weigh on the market attractiveness.
