In 2024, ONE IN THREE Americans will be treated by a physician of South Asian descent. - AAPI
THE FACTS:
-
South Asian, Filipino and Middle Eastern Americans are far more likely to suffer from the nation’s three leading killers: Heart Disease, Diabetes and Cancer; as well as numerous other health issues on the Pharma radar.
-
More than 250,000 Physicians or approximately 25% of all Doctors in the U.S. are of Indian, Arab or Filipino descent, according to The American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin (AAPI) The National Association of Arab American Physicians and the Filipino Physicians Association.
-
A HUGELY disproportionate amount of the drug prescriptions in this country are written by these doctors – far more than any other ethnic segments.
-
With tens of billions of marketing dollars spent annually by Pharma companies, these ethnic segments represent a tremendous growth opportunity and should not be overlooked.
