The Republic of Poland is bordered by Kaliningrad, Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, Germany, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. It was one of the ten countries to join the EU in May 2004. The Polish population stands at 38.1 million in 2009. Nearly 13% of residents are aged 65 years or over.
Funding for healthcare in Poland is principally through the health insurance system. The National Health Fund was established in 2003, replacing the 16 Regional Health Funds. Financing remains a problem as Poland only spends around 6.2% of GDP on healthcare. This does not fully cover the cost of medical equipment and upgrades required in hospitals.
The size of the private healthcare sector is slowly expanding. The availability of private facilities improved significantly in 2000, when bed numbers increased three-fold. Around a third of health expenditure is private, although out-of-pocket payments account for most of this.
In 2009, the Polish market for medical equipment and supplies was estimated at US$2,015 million, or US$53 per capita. It is expected that the device market will continue to expand at a CAGR of 13.1% per annum. This will take the Polish market to US$3,737 million, equal to US$98 per capita, by 2014.
Around 66% of the medical device market is supplied by imports. Germany and the USA were the leading suppliers in 2007, together accounting for almost 50% of imports. Germany was the leading supplier of most categories of medical equipment.
