Availability of better treatment options for hypertension has lead substantial portion of the hypertensive population with controlled blood pressure. But rising population with cardiovascular, and associated disorders urges need for different antihypertensive drugs in the global market. Telmisartan is a non-peptide angiotensin receptor blocker intended for treatment of hypertension and other cardiovascular disorders. Telmisartan was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) in 1998, for the treatment of hypertension alone or in combination with other compounds.

Cancer is a class of chronic disease that is characterized by uncontrolled growth of cells. The most common cancer types are breast cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, uterine cancer, and thyroid cancer. The three main types of drugs used for cancer, based on their mechanism of action, are cytotoxic drugs, targeted drugs, and hormonal drugs. Oncology drugs market has witnessed tremendous growth in the recent past, owing to increasing drug approvals and emergence of biosimilar products for cancer treatment. Furthermore, increasing healthcare expenditure for cancer has led to growing research and development activities for developing new cancer drugs that are highly effective and with least side-effects.

Nanopharmaceuticals play a major role in advance healthcare, as it is widely used in drug delivery. Nanopharmaceuticals differ from other macroscopic level of medicines in its shape and composition and offer advantages over the bulk analogues such as precision targeting and patient compliance.

Animal healthcare focuses on effective animal health management by diagnosing and treating the diseases. Outbreak of animal diseases restrict trading of animal protein and increases cost of disease management, which subsequently hampers economy of country's in Middle East and Africa region.

A contract research organization (CRO) are service provider organization that offers various drug developmental and clinical data management services supporting pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries engaged in clinical trials, in the form of outsourced pharmaceutical research services (for both drugs and medical devices). CROs range from large, medium to small, niche specialty groups.

Thrombocytopenia is a disorder in which a patient has low level of platelets in the blood. The major causes of thrombocytopenia are inefficient production of platelets, platelet splenic sequestration, and accelerative destruction of platelets. Thrombocytopenia can be inherited or acquired and the most common ineffective production of thrombocytes are due to bone marrow failure syndromes such as myelodysplastic syndrome and aplastic anemia. In 2014, according to a research article published in 2014, titled 'Frequency of Thrombocytopenia', the frequency of thrombocytopenia is higher in people aged 60 years and above who are suffering from non-cirrhotic liver disease. However, rampant discovery coupled with the ability to clone thrombopoietin has resulted in new treatment opportunities for clinical manifestation.

Diabetic retinopathy is one of the complications of diabetes, in which blood vessels in the retina gets damaged due to high blood glucose level. Retina is the light sensitive inner lining at the back of the eye. Diabetic retinopathy mostly affects both the eyes. As disease condition progresses, diabetic retinopathy symptoms including fluctuating vision, blurred vision, impaired color vision or sometimes dark and empty areas in vision leads to vision loss. The line of treatment for diabetic retinopathy depending on the disease condition of the patient, may require laser surgery, intraocular injections, and anti (VEFG) vascular endothelial growth factor therapy.

Wearable patches are known as smart patches or electronic skin. These are thin, small, and flexible in nature, and are used for disease monitoring, drug delivery, and diagnosis. Wearable patches help to maintain health and wellbeing in elderly patients suffering from chronic conditions such as diabetes and others. Presently, the market of wearable technologies is growing, owing to increasing research and development activities for development of wearable patch carried out by key players operating in the market. Wearable patches can be worn or stuck to the skin, or patch's such as scopolamine patches and transdermal patch are directly attached to the affected body part for disease monitoring. For instance, a nicotine path is a transdermal patch, which releases nicotine into the body, and is used in nicotine replacement therapy (NRT).

Cervical cancer is a common type of cancer occurring in women worldwide. A major cause of cervical cancer is infection by human papillomavirus (HPV), which is found in 99% cervical cancer. Human papillomavirus is sexually transmitted. Around 100 types of HPV have been identified to date, of which types 16 and 18 are believed to be responsible for more than 70% of cervical cancers. Cervarix and Gardasil are type of vaccines used for the treatment of cervical cancer.
