Executive Summary
The Slovak Republic is geographically well-placed in central Europe, bordering the Czech Republic, Poland, Ukraine, Hungary and Austria. The capital is Bratislava. The population is estimated at 5.5 million in 2009 and is ageing at a steady rate, in common with other European countries. Slovakia joined the EU in May 2004 and adopted the euro as its currency in January 2009.
Funding for healthcare in Slovakia is principally through the health insurance system. The Slovak healthcare system is still very much in the public sector, although the majority of pharmacies and health spas are now privately-owned. Slovakia spends around 7.0% of GDP on healthcare.
In 2009, the Slovak market for medical equipment and supplies is estimated at US$455 million, or US$83 per capita. It is expected that the device market will continue to expand at a rate of 8.9% per annum, to be valued at US$697 million, or US$129 per capita by 2014.
Around 65% of the medical device market is supplied by imports. Germany, the USA and Switzerland were the leading suppliers in 2007, accounting for almost 40% of imports. Imports have recovered well since the economic slump of the late 1990s.
