With a population approaching 30 million, Venezuela is a medium-sized South American country. It is economically under-developed, although rich in natural resources, notably oil. Venezuela has a history of political instability and is currently ruled by the charismatic but divisive President Hugo Chavez, a former army officer.

The market is volatile. The economy is heavily dependent on oil. While current high prices have boosted GDP, there is little evidence that this has led to much of an increase in health expenditure. Venezuela entered a major recession in 2002/03, but has since seen a resumption of growth.

Venezuela's healthcare system is complex and inefficient, a feature common to many Latin American countries. Many facilities are outdated in terms of equipment and infrastructure, and are under-funded.

The country has managed to attract a limited amount of international aid in the health sector; there is one World Bank funded project currently active. The government has formulated a number of health projects and plans, although implementation remains a serious concern.

The market is heavily reliant on imported products; there is little domestic production and none at all of high end apparatus. US companies have a very strong presence in the market; US imports account for 40-50% of the total each year.
