Israel borders Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Egypt and the Mediterranean Sea. Lying within its borders are areas that the Palestinians claim as their own; the threat of terrorism dominates the political landscape. Israel’s healthcare sector remains one of the strongest in the Middle East and the growing elderly population has forced the ruling administrations, partly due to political pressure and strategy, to expand drugs and medical treatments available under the “health basket”, although these items are by no means constant, and have been known to change from time to time.

Israel represents the largest pharmaceutical market in the Middle East, with per capita spending rates just outside the world’s top 20. The country has an advanced healthcare system and healthcare spending is high; around 8.0% of total GDP is spent on healthcare, and per capita spending rates are considered high by regional and world standards. Much of spending is in the public sector and the government has made allowances in recent years to expand the number of drugs and treatments offered by public health insurance programmes. The country also has a rapidly growing elderly demographic that is contributing to rising healthcare costs.

Much of the Israeli pharmaceutical market is controlled by the four general sick funds - Kupat Holim Clalit, Macabee, Meuhedet and Leummit - which account for over 90% of drug expenditure while the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Defence and the private sector are responsible for remaining expenditure.

Pharmaceutical giant Teva continues to flourish in Israel. In 2008, the company achieved record sales of US$11,085 million, a rise of 17.8% over the US$9,408 million achieved in 2007. Operating income for 2008 was US$1,145 million, less than half the US$2,395 million achieved in 2007. The majority of sales were achieved abroad, with only 30% from within Israel.

The market for generics remains strong, with Teva dominating, but facing increased competition from other local manufacturers and imported drugs. In addition, the country continues to enhance its burgeoning reputation in the field of biotechnology, and possesses first class research and development facilities.
