Kantar Health Expands National Health and Wellness Survey Into Russia

(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 04/25/12 -- , a leading healthcare-focused global consultancy and marketing insights company, today announced the expansion of the National Health and Wellness Survey (NHWS) into . NHWS is the largest global database of self-reported in the healthcare industry.
"Russia has a rapidly changing healthcare environment, where the unmet needs of patients remain high, so it's an attractive growth opportunity for pharma companies," says Gina Isherwood, Regional Brand Director with Kantar Health. "Russia is also quite different from established countries in Western Europe and other emerging markets. By collecting data directly from Russian patients, NHWS helps companies gain an understanding of the Russian patient and the Russian healthcare market and how they differ from patients worldwide."
Survey responses were collected directly from Russian patients and represent the adult urban population. Topics covered include health status, attitudes, behaviors and outcomes among other unique information specific to Russia's healthcare market.
The NHWS provides broad coverage of healthcare, with results projected to the population to deliver prevalence information in more than 165 conditions. NHWS includes information for patients who are diagnosed, undiagnosed yet symptomatic, untreated and for patients treated with prescription and/or over-the-counter medications.
Kantar Health conducts NHWS annually in the US, Europe, Asia and Latin America. NHWS provides disease-specific measures that help healthcare clients:
Size market opportunities using specific patient profiles
Quantify unmet needs for early development, marketing and reimbursement strategies
Measure direct and indirect costs
Gain insight into disease-specific segments
Develop publication strategies directed at specific consumer or patient segments
