The 10 Types of Medical Equipment That Will Grow the Most in Chile in 2022
Chile is known as one of the top consumers of medical technology in Latin America, not only in the private medical sector via acquisitions of cutting-edge robotic surgery systems, but also in public health facilities that strive to meet the same standards as private ones. In this respect, great strides have been made with nuclear medicine. In addition, the Chilean government has passed the Cancer Law (Ley del Cáncer), which will come into effect in October 2022 and whose goal is “establish a regulatory framework for the planning, development and implementation of public policies, programs and actions aimed at establishing the causes and preventing the increase in the incidence of cancer.” This law has two interesting features: i) promoting cooperation between the private and public sectors, between institutions and also between industry sectors; ii) the responsibility of Chile’s Health Ministry to create a National Cancer Plan that with a span of at least 5 years. The portals of Mercado Público or Public Market already have open tenders for devices for this type of treatment, especially for breast cancer.
GHI also recently conducted an analysis of procurement trends in Chilean hospitals, calculating the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) between 2019 and 2023. Based on those calculations and other analyses, we share in this report the types of medical equipment with the highest projected growth as well as the types that will contract the most by 2022.
