Furthermore, technological innovations in the IT field have led to the development of customized software platforms based on the requirements of healthcare providers.

In addition, increased government support for IT solutions for healthcare and increased investment in IT venture capital in healthcare is also expected to contribute to the growth of the global market during the forecast period of 2023 to 2028.

In addition, the increased need for data security and the high adoption of digital healthcare models over paper-based healthcare models is also likely to enhance the market growth. In addition, the increased government support for IT solutions for healthcare and the strong growth of the geriatric population are also among the significant factors that are expected to drive the growth of the MEA market.

Rapid technical development, increased consolidation in the healthcare industry, and the rise of cloud consulting are expected to provide significant growth opportunities for the information technology (IT) consulting services market during the forecast period.
