PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OPENS
BRAZIL HEALTHCARE MARKET
Brazil currently ranks 8th in the world for healthcare expenditure,
spending almost $200 billion on healthcare every year and taking up
almost 65 per cent of the healthcare expenditure in South America.
The country recently voted in its presidential election, where healthcare
was placed firmly up the agenda.
The two leading candidates made healthcare a key battleground for their
manifestos in an overt response to the mass demonstrations of millions
of citizens across the country over the last 12 months.
After the most divisive campaign since Brazil returned to democracy
thirty years ago, President Dilma Rousseff narrowly won re-election for
a second term with 51 per cent of the vote.
The market for standard microbiological
testing has always been linked to regulatory
requirements, but there is also an increasing
call for ‘real world’ testing to assess efficacy
of novel formulations, or product performance
versus competitors and this requires a more
specialized approach.
Perfectus Biomed’s mission is to
support companies in their development
of better products and services in the
microbiological arena.
The company focuses on assisting companies
in six main sectors - wound care, surface
antimicrobials, medical devices, dental, water
treatment and contact lenses.

The focus on healthcare from both candidates meant that opportunities
for UK companies to enter the Brazilian market – and wider South
American market – are set to improve.
The main healthcare exhibition for the South American market,
Hospitalar, takes place in Sao Paulo, 19 -22 May 2015. The exhibition
attracts distributors, clinicians, purchasers, manufacturers and endusers from across Brazil and the rest of South America, and Medilink
UK will once again organise the UK Pavilion at this year’s show.
To find out more about Hospitalar, email [email protected]
