Healthcare

The healthcare sector has been traditionally managed by the state, through social security systems. Recent tendencies point to the National Healthcare Service for wider private intervention and more professional management. In addition, medical services providers seek for new business opportunities, namely regarding the usage of the new economy for taking the services to the patients, thus reinforcing the accessibility of the these to medical cares.

Portugal, slowly follows these tendencies. Small private units have existed for long. Currently, we assist private entities entering into larger units, such as large hospitals. Other developing areas are currently evolving, since the Government has been showing signs of trying to bring more efficiency to the sector, by contracting private entities for the public hospitals management.

Success is not easy to achieve in the health care sector. The demand for large investments, the fact of being an area subject to numerous lobbies (professional and politician), public exposure, relatively low profitability level and state-mandatory prices pose evident barriers to the entrance of new market players. In addition, the health care services user tends to seek for old units, with a firm market reputation built over the years.
