Among the most dominant features of today’s global economy, is the general state of global healthcare. Its lack of availability to the significant portion of global population (including in the United States and other developed countries) and, at the same time, its escalating costs and growing demands for more governmental and consumer control and access, have created a serious crisis. Such situation has extremely important economic, social, financial, educational and scientific implications. A great deal of serious research is being conducted in healthcare economics, with a very significant scientific output and there exists a tremendous interest in its results, from scientists, economists, commercial businesses, and policy makers, as well as from the general public health. Ageing populations and advances in treatment have long supported health-care spending, but governments are at last making headway in cutting costs. Global health-care outlays will rise by 4% on a per-head basis in 2013, half the average in the decade before the financial crisis. As a share of GDP, health-care spending will stay just above 10%, and then begin a gradual decline in 2014. Emerging innovations in the delivery of health care, particularly in developing countries, offer insights on how to tackle its rising cost, estimated at $7 trillion a year globally. Health care is consuming an escalating share of income in developed and developing nations alike. For More Information please, CLICK HERE
