Increasing Spending on Healthcare-Related Services Fuels North America Air Ambulance Services Market
The healthcare sector is growing rapidly owing to its growing coverage, improved services, and rising expenditure by public and private players. In addition, with the increasing awareness and focus on well-being and health-related concerns, the majority of the population is increasing their spending on healthcare-related services. Rising household income and increasing awareness about health and wellness have resulted in a growing demand for medical and healthcare services, including better treatment facilities, multi-specialty hospitals, advanced medical equipment and devices, and patient pick-up and drop services using air ambulance services. Patients are now focusing more on premium healthcare facilities in terms of transportation and overall services. Customers in higher income groups emphasized faster pick-up facilities in times of emergency and opted for air ambulance facilities offered by hospitals or independent trauma care centers.
