Owing to rising incomes and longer lifespans, the Asian healthcare market is seen as one of the biggest sources of growth in the region over the next few years, if not decades. We spoke to Kathy Ng, Healthcare Analyst at Nikko Asset Management, to understand the current trends and opportunities in the healthcare sector in Asia. She talks about the basis of healthcare growth in Asia, innovations such as artificial intelligence and their applications in the sector, reimagining healthcare delivery via virtual means, the regulatory environment in the pharma sector and the regions in Asia which are a bright spot for investments. However, Ng points out that healthcare innovation is very slow, and we should not expect change overnight.
