Rationale for choosing the project
Increased demand for health services: As the population grows and cities expand, the need for integrated medical services close to the community is increasing. Medical clinics are an ideal option to fulfill this need in residential areas.
Improved health awareness: People are increasingly aware of the importance of regular health care and disease prevention, boosting the demand for specialized medical clinics.
Shortage of certain medical specialties: There may be gaps in the provision of specialized medical services in some areas, creating an opportunity to establish a medical clinic that offers these specialties to meet the needs of the local community.
Accessibility and availability: One of the main justifications is to provide medical services in a location close to the population, allowing them to easily access treatment and health services without having to travel long distances.
Investment advantages
Good return on investment: Health services are considered one of the sectors that achieve stable returns and sustainable growth, especially if high-quality specialized services are provided, which contributes to attracting a large number of customers.
Market stability: The healthcare sector has a high level of stability compared to many other sectors, as it is not significantly affected by economic or financial fluctuations.
Opportunities for expansion: The clinic can be expanded to include other services such as clinics, specialized medical centers, or home medical services, which increases growth and profitability.
Increased interest in preventive health: As health awareness increases, the demand for regular check-ups and preventive treatment increases, which contributes to boosting revenues.
Potential for government support: Medical projects may receive government support, either in terms of financing facilities or through special programs to encourage investment in the health sector.
Demand analysis
Demand for medical specialties: The demand for a medical clinic depends mainly on the supply of required medical specialties such as general medicine, dentistry, dermatology, dermatology, physiotherapy, pediatrics, and gynecology. These specialties are in high demand, especially in cities with high population density.
Demographic factors: The increase in population, especially in urban areas, contributes to the increase in demand for health services. Demographics that include an increase in the number of elderly and young people also contribute to the demand for certain services such as geriatrics and pediatrics.
Population health behavior: As awareness of the importance of regular check-ups and early treatment increases, the demand for clinics that offer these services increases. The prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension also boosts the need for continuing care services.
Socioeconomic changes: Increasing household incomes can boost the ability to pay for treatment, increasing the demand for private clinic services. Social shifts such as an increase in the proportion of working women may increase the need for family-friendly healthcare services.
Market competition: The analysis includes studying the market surrounding the project to compare the prices and services offered by competing medical clinics. This study will help identify gaps in the market and provide better services to increase market share.
