With a population of almost 1 billion people, in an accelerated aging process and with a significant increase in access to health care services, Latin America has shown itself to be, in the last decades, an important market, becoming one of the biggest growth opportunities for the pharmaceutical industry in the world.
“LATIN AMERICA GREW TWICE AS MUCH AS THE GLOBAL DRUG MARKET IN 2020. THE MARKET HAS THE LARGEST GROWTH OPPORTUNITY IN THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY IN THE WORLD.”
Says Latam Vice-President & Board Member at Close-Up International, Paulo Paiva.*

In Brazil, healthcare is a constitutional right for all and a duty of the State, so the Union, States, and Municipalities are responsible for the health of Brazilian citizens.
To fulfill its attributions, the structure of the Ministry of Health in Brazil is composed of secretariats, which are responsible for elaborating, proposing, and implementing health policies, and are the executors of the Ministry’s activities.
The SUS is the only public healthcare system in the world that serves more than 190 million people, 80% of whom depend exclusively on it for any healthcare.*
