  • United Arab Emirates: Wednesday, June 25 - 2008 at 08:09

Healthcare demand will rise 240% in the GCC over the next 20 years, with health risk factors, ageing, population growth and medical inflation contributing to the rise in spending, according to Dr. Ioan Cleaton Jones, speaking at the GE Healthcare Middle East Media Summit held recently in Dubai. In response to this spending increase, the total number of hospital beds is projected to rise from 68,250 in 2006 to 114,450 by 2015 and 161,750 by 2025.
