Healthcare regulatory and access developments
Overview
Health authorities in Chile and Argentina are pursuing various regulatory updates to improve medical safety and administration. In Argentina, provincial health officials are developing regulations for aesthetic centers to categorize establishments by procedure complexity and ensure treatments are conducted by registered professionals. Simultaneously, Chile’s Health Commission is reviewing legislation for electronic medical prescriptions to establish standards for issuance, transmission, and security.
Efforts in Chile have expanded to include discussions on medication access. During a scientific meeting, experts emphasized that reducing regulatory approval times and promoting biosimilars are vital for fiscal sustainability. In the European Union, the European Parliament’s Public Health Committee has approved a resolution urging the creation of specific laws for rare diseases to address diagnostic inequalities and research investment gaps.
