Slovenia is one of the smallest countries in Europe, with a population of just over 2.0 million. It formed the most westerly and developed part of the former Yugoslavia. The country escaped almost unscathed from the destruction seen elsewhere due to the collapse of Yugoslavia in the early 1990s.
The country remains the richest of the central and eastern European states, and in many ways more closely resembles Italy or Austria than its neighbours to the east. Slovenia joined the European Union in 2004 and the Euro in 2007. The economy has suffered a downturn due to the economic recession, albeit less severe than in many of its neighbours.
A compulsory health insurance system (the ZZZS) has been in operation since 1992. This accounts for around 75% of expenditure. The remainder is either through supplementary insurance or out-of-pocket. The health fund has experienced difficulties since 2008, with a range of cost-saving measures implemented or planned.
The medical device market is small, being constrained by the country’s small size. It is, however, one of the richest in Europe region when viewed on a per capita basis. It is largely supplied by imports from western Europe. Growth was rapid up to 2008 but slowed in 2009 and 2010. A modest recovery is apparent in early 2011.
Slovenia has long had a domestic production sector, geared towards supplying other former Yugoslav markets. It still does this, but EU accession has also spurred exports to the West since 2004.
