Presentation Documents
Latin American countries are implementing significant reforms in Health Technology Assessment (HTA), pricing, and public procurement to improve access to medicines while ensuring the sustainability of their health systems. These policy changes have direct implications for how evidence is generated, assessed, and applied in healthcare decision-making.
This Forum will explore recent and emerging policy reforms across the region, complemented by a regional perspective from the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) on joint procurement mechanisms for high-cost medicines. The session will highlight how evolving HTA, pricing, and procurement approaches are reshaping access pathways and creating new opportunities for regional collaboration.
