Asia
Asia is Earth’s largest and most populous continent located in Eastern and Northern hemispheres. Asia covers an area of 44,579,000 square kilometers (17,212,000 sq mi), about 30% of Earth’s total land area and 8.7% of the Earth’s total surface area.
| Literacy Rate | 89.267 |
| Population | 4,560,667,108 (2018 est.) |
According to United Nations, there are 48 countries in Asia.
Asian healthcare is about to face a rapid growth as developing Asian economy will lead to rapid urbanization, increase in income, changes in diets and lifestyles, lifestyles without exercise and rapidly ageing populations and consequential diseases and healthcare issues. The region accounts for 10 per cent of the world’s population and 20 per cent of the world’s disease burden, yet commands only 3 per cent of global healthcare expenditure. The burden of chronic diseases is believed to increase over years. This is therefore creating a huge demand of healthcare infrastructure in the continent.
Life Expectancy: Life expectancy at birth continues to increase remarkably in Asia/Pacific countries and economies, reflecting sharp reductions in mortality at all ages. Life expectancy at birth for the whole population across 22 Asian countries and economies reached 71.6 years on average in 2008, a gain of more than 14 years since 1970.
Infant Mortality Rate: Infant mortality rates have fallen dramatically in the Asia/Pacific region over the last 30 years. Many countries, including China, India and Indonesia, saw declines of between 50 and 70%. In Singapore, Malaysia, the Republic of Korea, Viet Nam and Thailand, rates have fallen by three-quarters.
Health Expenditure: Health spending is an important societal response to improve health outcomes. Health spending in the Asia/Pacific region, unlike in the OECD, has barely increased as a share of GDP in the last ten years. Average healthcare expenditure as a per cent of GDP in the region, for instance 2.3 per cent in Indonesia and 3.7 per cent in the Philippines, significantly trails that of developed nations.
Bed Availability and Human Resources
Low Healthcare spending by government in some regions of Asia has resulted in ageing, underdeveloped and overstretched health system. The total bed availability does not match with the standard requirement. There is shortage of total bed availability as there are only nine hospital beds per 10,000 population in Indonesia and 10 hospital beds per 10,000 population in Philippines as compared to the global average of 30 beds per 10,000 population.
Along with this the Asian region shows much shortage of Human resources in Healthcare Sector. The health education system in the region is ill prepared to produce adequate talent of reasonable quality. There is significant challenge in building the core pool of doctors, which is a cause for alarm. Indonesia, for example, has only 4 doctors per 10,000 people, lower than the global average of 14 doctors per 10,000 people. This is therefore, generating a huge demand of medical education system in Asian region.
Disease Burden
The burden of Non-communicable disease is high in few regions of Asia which shows differences on the basis of countries and within rural and urban areas within country. Majority of non-communicable disease with increased burden include Cardiovascular disease, Diabetes, Cancer and Chronic Respiratory Disease which is estimated to kill 8.5 million lives each year. This sudden rise of lifestyle disease requires attention and action by the healthcare authority to improve heath status of the continent.
Most of the South Asia is in early phase of epidemiological transition where disease pattern has changed from infectious to more chronic degenerative ones. Infectious diseases are still one of the leading causes of mortality in the regions of Asia and the impact of HIV and AIDS may delay the epidemiological transition.
