Research and Markets: Chile Pharmaceuticals and Healthcare Report Q1 2012

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/8ab7cf/chile_pharmaceutic) has announced the addition of the "Chile Pharmaceuticals and Healthcare Report Q1 2012" report to their offering.

At a value of CLP1,381bn (US$2.71bn), drug expenditure in Chile represented 1.32% of GDP in 2010, while per capita spending reached an estimated US$158. Chile's economic development is forecast to experience steady modest growth. Fiscal expenditure will increase and real GDP growth is expected to come in at 5.9% in 2011, providing a solid foundation for the further growth of healthcare and pharmaceutical expenditure. In addition to healthcare modernisation and economic growth, another driver of Chile's pharmaceutical market growth is its ageing population and the increasing disease burden, especially of non-communicable conditions.

Key Trends And Developments

• In November 2011, the US Pharmacopeial Convention (USP) signed a memorandum of understanding with the Chilean Pharmacopoeia Foundation (CPF).
• Around the same time, the executive president of the Chamber of the Pharmaceutical Industry (CIF) dismissed calls to introduce bioequivalence standards across Chile's generic drug sector, as it would ultimately lead to an increase in the price of generic drugs.
• In September 2011, a Ministry of Health audit of Chile's private insurance companies left Isapres de Chile facing 12 fines totalling CLP109mn (US$222,500).
