Hey everyone,
I’ve got some exciting news to share from the healthcare world. Cambodia’s Central Hospital is embracing technology to enhance heart care, including the adoption of an ECMO machine for critical care conditions. The intracranial pressure monitoring market is expected to reach $600m by 2033, and the global medical mobility aids market is projected to be valued at $15b by 2030. Plus, Australia is unveiling a new hospital in NSW, and Singapore and the Philippines have signed an MOU for healthcare workforce cooperation.
In other news, there’s a lack of data on miscarriages in the U.S., and researchers are looking for answers. Additionally, there’s a survey showing that Americans are tentatively comfortable with using artificial intelligence in healthcare. And it’s important to note that increasing cancer screenings may not be the solution to reducing racial health disparities.
On the financial side, workplace insurance costs are being driven up by the demand for expensive drugs and medical services. Rising cancer rates among younger workers are also affecting employers’ health cost outlook. Plus, there’s a probe into U.S. drug companies conducting clinical trials with medical centers connected to China’s military.
Overall, it’s an exciting time in the healthcare industry with advancements in technology and research, and I’m looking forward to seeing how these developments will positively impact patient care.
Take care,
Summy
Stay Well!
