On Wednesday, March 4, at 2:00 p.m. ET, the Atlantic Council’s Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center (AALAC), with support from the Latin American Federation of the Pharmaceutical Industry (FIFARMA), hosted a virtual conversation on how health investment can drive long-term growth and resilience across Latin America and the Caribbean.
As governments across the region confront slower economic growth, fiscal constraints, and rising social demands, leaders are increasingly recognizing that investment in health is not just social policy but economic strategy.
Senior regional leaders discussed how governments, multilateral institutions, and the private sector can mobilize sustainable financing, attract investment, and position health systems as a pillar of long-term development.
