The U.S. Commercial Service Offers Opportunities to Help You Access Brazil's Healthcare Market
Webinar: How to Access the Healthcare Market in Brazil
The largest market in Latin America, Brazil's economic recovery is underway with GDP growth projected at 2-3%. The new Bolsonaro administration is discussing generally more open market policies.
Brazil has a solid, growing, though sometimes challenging healthcare market. The healthcare sector is expected to see growth of 7% in 2019. Brazilian healthcare expenditures account for approximately 8.5% of the GDP. In a period of three years, the Government of Brazil will reportedly invest more than US$2 billion to digitalize all basic care units in the country. Both the public and private healthcare markets offer significant opportunities. Anvisa, the National Agency for Sanitary Surveillance (Brazil's FDA), has substantially reduced the timeframe to register new products and has made great strides in incorporating international best practices and standards into the regulatory system.
Featured speakers include:
-
Trends for Healthcare Market Medical Devices – Guilherme Hummel, EMI Head Mentor
-
New policies and Market Opening Opportunities for Health IT -Brazilian Society for Healthcare Informatics (SBIS)
- Regulations for Medical Devices – Patricia Verrone, Registration Manager, Vera Rosas
