Qatar Infection Control Market - Forecasts from 2020 to 2025

The Qatar infection control market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.88% over the forecast period 2019 to 2025. There is a lack of awareness among many individuals in the country, which is causing them to consume more antibiotics. During the World Antibiotics Awareness Week, held between November 12, to November 19, in 2018 Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) advised the public to decrease the consumption and unnecessary use of antibiotics as it makes the effective treatment and control of different infections difficult and harder to treat. Also, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), the resistance to antibiotics is becoming one of the major reasons for global health. The health minister also expressed her concerns regarding this issue on the WISH (World Innovation Summit for Health) in November. In addition, the minister also expressed that there is an urgent need to reduce the resistance to antibiotics, which is one of their major objectives under Qatar’s National Health Strategy 2018-2022. It is increasingly important to step to reduce the resistance to antibiotics as it hinders the effective prevention and the treatment and control of infections as the diseases are not treated easily and leads to longer stays of patients in the hospitals resulting in higher chances of mortality rate thus leading to an increase in the medical costs. In addition, great care is being taken and HMC is providing guidelines and educating people throughout the World Antibiotics Awareness Week. The guidelines include proper storage of antibiotics, taking only prescribed medicines, and not overusing the medicines among some other advice.
