providing imaging systems to both
public and private hospitals

Healthcare & pharmaceutical supplies
Myanmar’s pharmaceutical industry is
estimated to be worth around $100-120
million USD in 2013. Indian pharmacy
companies account for 35-40% of the
market share followed by Bangladesh,
China, Thailand, Indonesia, Pakistan
and Vietnam. As western sanctions are
lifted, more US and European
producers can be expected to enter
into the market. Yangon and Mandalay
account for 60% of all pharmacy sales
in Myanmar. According to the Ministry
of Commerce, more than 5,000
categories of medicine are imported
annually. Opportunities exist for
suppliers of healthcare and pharmacy
products that were previously
unavailable in Myanmar’s present
market due to the presence of
sanctions.

Healthcare training
Myanmar’s healthcare future relies in large
part to the quality and service of healthcare
professionals in the region. Myanmar’s
government understands the need to
produce healthcare service professionals
of higher quality that are well versed in the
latest medical practices. Companies such
as GE have already started offering
training programs within the country.
