Although the healthcare sector has been one of the best performing sectors on the market this year, I don't believe for a second that it is too late to gain exposure to it.
Two healthcare shares which I would suggest investors consider snapping up today are listed below. Here's why I like them:
Nanosonics Ltd. (ASX: NAN)
With its shares down sharply over the last 12 months, I think this infection control specialist is a great option for investors today thanks to its trophon EPR product. The best-in-class disinfection technology continues to grow in popularity with hospitals due to being environmentally friendly and wholly effective at disinfecting ultrasound probes.
At the last count the trophon product's installed base had grown to 14,100 units globally. With management estimating a global opportunity of 120,000 units, I believe Nanosonics still has a significant runway for growth over the next decade.
Zenitas Healthcare Ltd (ASX: ZNT)
This home care and health services company may be a relatively new listing on the Australian share market, but it is one which I think will soon be on the radar of many investors. Although the company operates just 54 locations throughout Australia, it has its eyes firmly fixed on growth through acquisition opportunities.
Providing these can be done at a fair price, I suspect Zenitas could grow significantly in the coming years. Especially with the National Healthcare Reform pushing the burden of healthcare services from hospitals into primary care.
