Increasing preference for non-invasive surgical procedures will remain a key factor driving product development and commercialization in the operating room equipment market for the foreseeable future.
Fact.MR, Dubai: Market research company Fact.MR’s ongoing operating room equipment market study has estimated strong growth in the coming decade, driven by increased emphasis being placed on sterile patient care environment. The covid-19 pandemic has generated significant growth opportunities in the industry owing to growing demand in severe cases through the crisis.
The global healthcare sector is witnessing a transition from invasive to minimally invasive, and noninvasive procedures. Minimally invasive surgery, robotic surgery, image-guided procedures, and remote-surgery are expected to increasingly replace conventional surgical procedures.

Over the past year the global Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted the significance of the arts in human life, but veteran actor Aubrey Poo feels this has not been enough to get the “powers-that-be” to prioritise the industry and those in it.
Aubrey spoke candidly about what he believes needs to be done for the arts industry not to fade away and die, especially after the industry has endured times as tough as they have during the pandemic and the general “neglect” of ensuring the industry grows and supports new talent.

The Tasmanian Liberal Government is taking action to build a bolder TasTAFE which is fit for purpose, industry-specific and offers training specific to the outcomes required.
We will do this by adopting PESRAC’s recommendation to transform TasTAFE into the independent government institution it needs to be to best serve the next generation of young people and jobseekers.
It will deliver more teachers and more delivery in our regions, contemporary, fit for purpose facilities, more training options, better pay for skilled teachers and flexible hours.
Tasmanians want this change, industry want this change, business want this change and it appears the only people that don’t are the anti-skills, anti-jobs Labor party.
