Executive Summary

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a unique and substantial impact on the local and global Private Healthcare industry. As the numbers of COVID-19 cases continue to rise, the Private Healthcare industry finds itself at the centre of the pandemic, having to continue providing existing healthcare services, whilst also accommodating growing numbers of COVID-19 cases. As a result, the adoption of mobile healthcare technology by the industry is accelerating, as part of efforts to cope with increased demand, take care of crucial staff, and maintain a high standard of patient care.

Despite reductions in terms of the number of local registered deaths, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is likely to raise the numbers of overall registered deaths, as well as deaths due to Communicable Diseases in 2020. This presents both a challenge, in terms of capacity and demand, and an opportunity, in terms of demonstrating its effectiveness, to the local Private Healthcare Industry. This is particularly relevant, as the spectre of the implementation of National Health Insurance (NHI) looms large over the industry, making it important for the sector to emphasise its value.
