Summary
The 1990s were a period of significant change for both the Czech nation and its healthcare sector. The government has decentralised the health sector through methods of rationalisation and large scale privatisation, and created a health system with a diverse mixture of establishments. The introduction of a health insurance scheme has also played an important part in the development of Czech healthcare.
The Czech medical device market initially benefited from the economic reforms carried out by the government. In hindsight, however, the reforms lacked strong economic foundations and in recent years the healthcare sector has suffered from funding shortages. Despite this, the medical device market has performed well since 2000, with the improving economy and preparation for EU accession. The Czech market is one of the largest of the former Soviet bloc countries, and is now dominated by western suppliers, most notably Germany and the United States, as opposed to Russia.
Hospitals are not permitted to buy products directly from foreign companies and are therefore dependent upon dealers and distributors. High value items must go through a tender process. Payment of items can be a major problem, with hospitals having to wait for reimbursement from official funds before paying the distributor. The option to pay by instalments is generally preferred by hospitals, while factors such as product quality, guarantees and repair/maintenance agreements are also considered as very important by Czech end-users. For bulk supply products, the concept of just-in-time delivery direct to hospital departments has attracted strong interest.
These medical device market reports are ideal for executives wanting to understand the key drivers in medical markets and have access to a wealth of statistical data.
