PharmaPoint: Alzheimer’s Disease - China Drug Forecast and Market Analysis to 2022
London (PRWEB) October 24, 2013 -- PharmaPoint: Alzheimer’s Disease - China Drug Forecast and Market Analysis to 2022
Summary
GlobalData has released its new Country report, “PharmaPoint: Alzheimer’s Disease - China Drug Forecast and Market Analysis to 2022”. There are no long-term effective therapies for Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), so this remains at the top of the list for unmet needs. While physicians agree that symptomatic therapies are relatively safe and effective, these therapies are still lacking because of they cannot maintain their effects and lack mechanisms that alter the course of the disease.
Being the most populated nation in the world and having a government with ample resources, China could potentially observe astounding AD drug growth during the forecast period. Unfortunately, we do not envision this to occur within the next 10 years due to China’s acceptance of its underdeveloped healthcare infrastructure. The lack of access to healthcare in rural parts of the nation, the limited provision of social services, and limited efforts to maintain adequate public health suggest that there are many areas that require significant changes before the topic of AD can be properly addressed.
