We have worked for major PACS vendors and well known hospitals in USA. Now we are using the
experiences we have gained during all these years both locally and internationally. As the smaller
part of our business, we are providing IT consultation services between the US medical companies
and the reliable companies from Europe, Turkey and Middle East.
Our Market
Market growth for medical products is expected due to expansion of private sector health care
services, rising expectations among patients, and efforts of some private hospitals towards attracting
foreign patients. Modern private hospitals in Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir have set new standards for the
health sector in Turkey. Many existing hospitals are launching renovation projects in order to compete.
The private sector strives to import equipment with advanced technology, an area where the
United States has a good reputation.
U.S. suppliers are
expected to maintain their present lion's share of the import
market despite the
elimination of customs tariffs applied since January 1996 to
EU-origin goods. This is because
U.S. products are already well and favorably known. Turkey is
also an excellent stepping-stone for
U.S. suppliers to the markets of countries like Georgia,
Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan,
Kirgyzstan, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine.
Turkey's demand
for medical products is expected to continue to grow in the
next several years.
In 2003 there are 1,240 hospitals in Turkey with a total bed
capacity of 175,000. Average capacity
utilization is 60 percent. An important new development is
towards receiving incoming patients
from European or Middle Eastern countries for treatment in
Turkish hospitals.
