New investment horizons The new health insurance system will greatly encourage businessmen to invest in the private health sector, given the expectations of an increase in demand after it is designated to receive residents, who are of course a very large segment in the country, which will create more opportunities for such investment. The matter will not be limited to the establishment and founding of private hospitals and health centers only, but will also include acquisitions by investors who see the private health sector as a promising field for work and profit. The government has been keen to encourage investors and provide incentives and facilities to move forward in this field. It focused on simplifying the issuance of licenses, and that the new health insurance system will also push the already existing centers and hospitals to expand, whether in clinics and services, or in the opening of new departments and branches for the already existing facilities. The new situation has become a great incentive for investors to invest in private medical sector due to the great demand for the services, given the expected expansion in this sector with the implementation of the new system. Private medical sector also contributes to the growth of health sector in the country and supports the health system by alleviating pressure on government sector. Investment laws in the country encourage local and foreign capital to pump more investments into private health sector.
