Fitch also forecasts 3.9 percent revenue growth and 1.2 percent EBITDA growth across its ratings portfolio for 2012, with weak organic trends in the utilization of healthcare services and products.

Slightly positive growth despite a weak operating environment will be supported by greater demand growth in emerging markets, new product launches and an active acquisition environment.
