Market Outlook
Recent developments in the region's healthcare infrastructure are expected to further boost the nurse call systems market. For instance, in August 2023, Brazil's federal government initiated the "Novo PAC" (New Growth Acceleration Program), which involves a substantial investment of R$1.68 trillion (around US$340 billion) aimed at enhancing infrastructure and social sectors, including healthcare. Approximately R$1.3 trillion is earmarked for investment by 2026.
In July 2023, the World Bank approved a US$50 million loan to Argentina to improve public healthcare services for 6.5 million residents in Buenos Aires, focusing on modernizing healthcare facilities and implementing telemedicine solutions. Additionally, Chile received a US$200 million loan from the World Bank in December 2023 to enhance universal primary healthcare access, with a goal to establish primary care as the foundation of its health system by 2027. Peru's PROINVERSION is also set to launch six Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects in the health sector between 2024 and 2025, with an estimated investment of US$700 million, benefiting over 2 million people. These initiatives indicate a growing healthcare sector in developing countries, which is likely to create substantial opportunities for the adoption of nurse call systems.
