Iraq is located in the Southwest, Northeast Asia, Arabian Peninsula, an area of about 44 million square kilometers with a population of 23 million, of which accounted for 73% of Arabs, Kurds 25%, also includes other minority population.
Nearly 30 years, although the war-torn Iraq, but because of the unique oil resources, their economic situation is still quite good. According to the material statistics, the average annual import Iraq 2 billion ~ 3 billion of drugs. Puzzling is that Iraq Government has the money, but is "in the Gulf States," a few not yet built up one of the medical device manufacturing industry. Whether in war or the war, Iraq and health undertakings the necessary medical equipment products, small-disposable medical latex gloves and syringes, bandages, x-ray, CT, MRI, etc., has been imported from abroad. At present, the Iraq Government is aware of the importance of the medical device industry, and are seeking to offer domestic basis medical equipment manufacturing plant. Per capita expenditure on medical devices is not high in 2002 before the outbreak of the Gulf war, Iraq only a country run by pharmaceutical companies, the production of medicines can only meet their 20% ~ 30% of clinical drug demand, while the rest are needed drugs imported from abroad. This situation has not changed. 2006 on Iraq drugs exports as a percentage of the top few bits: EU (25 countries) 47.5%, Jordan (15.06%), Switzerland (14.5%), India (10.78%), while the United States, Russia, China, Turkey and other countries on Iraq's drug exports have accounted for only 1% to 2% of the very small percentage. With its neighbouring countries, Iran, Jordan, Syria, Saudi Arabia and Egypt and other countries, Iraq and the pharmaceutical market. Saudi Arabia pharmaceutical market with annual sales exceeding $ 1 billion, this situation with its public life generally affluent and affordable good medicine. Middle East/Arab countries medical expenditures per capita annual maximum of five countries are affluent "Gulf oil country", while the war-torn Iraq spending per capita in medical devices is only ranked 12th in the Middle East, but still better than Iran, Morocco, Algeria and Yemen high a lot. According to IMF Statistics last year, Iraq's medical device market overall size is about 6300 million ~ $ 6800 is expected this year, total sales for Iraq medical equipment market will reach $ 80 million. Medical device dependent on imports to date, Iraq lack the most basic medical equipment production capacity, the top-five medical devices into Iraq annual imports of commodities, which are: ECG and ultrasound scanner (such as b-instrument), NMR, flash photography, electronic diagnostic instrument, β/α/γ-ray irradiation treatment instrument, IR/UV Analyzer and other diagnostic equipment and analytical instruments; all kinds of syringes, medical tube etc, surgical suture needle, dental equipment, dental and cavities filled materials, ophthalmology special apparatus and other commonly used medical equipment; mechanical treatment instrument, such as massage device, ozone/oxygen generator; respiratory machine, intensive care, emergency use instruments for products; orthopedic equipment and orthopaedic appliances, such as artificial joints, artificial vascular and artificial heart valves, and other artificial organs. As can be seen from table 2, 2006 on Iraq medical device exports of the top five of the countries and regions: the European Union (25 countries), the United States, Jordan, China, U.A.E.. China on Iraq's medical device exports, the European Union and the United States there is considerable disparity, and Jordan, U.A.E. and Turkey, and other Middle Eastern countries, and the Middle East countries, the overall level of the medical device industry is high, but they have with Iraq's geographic proximity. Current demand of medical concern that current Iraq demand maximum of several medical products: bandages, gauze, tourniquet, plywood, etc. larger medical materials products; medical x-ray film; suitable for medical materials and surgical instruments sterilization equipment; medical rubber gloves; wheelchairs; contact lenses; medical equipment and electronic equipment; syringe and needle injection; dental instruments; ophthalmic instruments; orthopedic surgical instruments; various treatment apparatus; other classes (such as surgery, dental chair, etc.). These medical devices in many enterprises are engaged in production, domestic and export medical device product business should look into Iraq on the medical device specifications and price situation, actively involved in Iraq of bidding activity Equipos, for more on Iraq orders export products, medical devices, in order to promote in Iraq's position on the market for medical devices. Upcoming build medical equipment factory according to the Western media coverage, was once an old enemy of Iraq, Iran and Iraq Government officially reached settlement agreements and commitments to Iraq to build a factory for production of disposable syringes, expected to plant at least 3 years before it can be put into operation, the required fee and purchase plant equipment expenditures borne entirely by the Government of Iran, as the two peoples friendship symbol, the factory will become Iraq's history, first medical device factories. After a few years, Iran Government will also establish one after another in Iraq in the territory of the other several medical equipment manufacturing enterprises, the production of a variety of basic medical equipment products.
