Unfavorable Reimbursement Policies Could Obstruct Market Growth

The lack of insurance covers and reimbursement policies across several regional pockets has discouraged people from resorting to splinting and casting for treatments. The emerging economies are under the brunt of non-supportive government policies in this regard. Nevertheless, the rapid development of the healthcare industry would assist the global splinting and casting market.
