The medical devices market in Qatar is expected to grow at a healthy pace owing to surge in number of diagnostic labs, public hospitals and independent clinics and health centers in the country. Around 12 diagnostic labs opened up in 2016 and many such labs are expected to open up in the near future, which would increase the demand for medical devices so as to provide accurate diagnosis and treatment to the patients. This is likely to propel the revenue generated through institutional demand of medical devices in the country.
