The database gives you a clear and accurate overview of the healthcare services sector from Chile to China.   In South Africa we found a thriving outpatient sector.  Intercare (which we interviewed here) has recently sold a stake to Mediclinic. We identified several direct competitors including Advanced Health, which is listed on the JSE.  In Brazil we found a series of fast-growing outpatient clinics targeting rapid roll outs. They include Dr Consulta, GlobalMed and Clinica Fares. The database now has 90 outpatient chains. In the GCC a good contact identified the two reputable players in psychiatry, a taboo area. We plan to add more private psychiatry units. In India we've added a range of operators including regional players in medicalised homecare.
