Frost & Sullivan expects the market to grow from €393 million in 2011 to €2.45 billion in 2016 therefore, creating vast opportunities for industry players.

Acibadem Mobile Health Services (AMHS), a Turkish healthcare company, has demonstrated incredible rapid growth and has recently been honoured with Frost & Sullivan's 2012 European Growth Leadership Award.
