 Healthcare expenditures in Argentina have traditionally accounted for approximately 7 percent of the GDP, among the highest in the region. Imports in the medical equipment and device sector have been estimated to account for around 70-75 percent of the total market. The United States continues to lead the Argentine import market of medical products and equipment.
Medical products and technology developed and produced in the United States are highly regarded in Argentina. This is particularly relevant when U.S. exporters can offer high quality products at competitive prices.
The importation of used and refurbished medical equipment is either forbidden or highly restricted through several requirements. It is generally not recommended for U.S. exporters and distributors.
Imports of medical products must be performed by an importer registered with ANMAT (Administración Nacional de Medicamentos, Alimentos y Tecnología Médica - the Argentine equivalent to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration), as a frequent importer of medical equipment.
