PHM Emerging Markets Healthcare Monitor Publishes Risks Report
SEBASTIAN
, Florida. September 23, 2008/PRNewswire/ -- PHM International, Inc. a worldwide healthcare consultancy has published its report on investment and security risks due to the growing shortage of healthcare workers in the September 2008 issue of the PHM Emerging Markets Healthcare Monitor.

The report illustrates the potential impact from the steep expansion of healthcare offerings worldwide. "The private healthcare sector is expanding exponentially. We see the early implications of a market increasingly out of sync in regards to productivity resources. Doctors and nurses the world over are migrating to countries where private sector demand competes with government resources," stated Hank Kearney, president of PHM International. "It’s not just doctors and nurses, but bio-mechanical engineers, therapists, MR physicists, and many other clinical specialties," continued Kearney.

Findings and recommendations in the report include the Middle East’s infrastructure expansion is now shifting to clinical knowledge importation. Investment opportunities cited include expanding productivity resources and targeted hospital builds. The report also notes in the near future healthcare markets will be defined in regional and cultural terms rather than confined by national borders.

The Kampala Declaration of 2008, cited in the report, will not impact the demand from the private sector. "Medical worker migration will increasingly be viewed in the larger implication of international trade," reads the report.

Available only to institutional investors, private equity, banking, legal, and industry C-suite executives, the PHM Emerging Markets Healthcare Monitor is a monthly news compendium accompanied by customized, expert commentary on healthcare developments and transactions in emerging markets, with a particular concentration in Central and Eastern Europe, Asia, Middle East, and Latin America.

About PHM International
PHM International, Inc. is a worldwide healthcare and insurance sector consultancy. Since 1997 PHM International has developed a core specialisation in advisory services in emerging market economies including healthcare financing, product development, research, and business development. Target clients include healthcare organisations, institutional investors, private equity, pharmaceutical companies, governments, and insurance institutions.
