El Complejo Económico-Industrial de la Salud de la India visto desde América Latina

This article describes and characterizes the Indian Health Economic-Industrial Complex. It adopts a “reasoned history” approach based on a review of Indian and Latin American authors and official documents. The analysis of the Indian experience allows outlining aspects of similarity and lessons for the conceptualization and formulation of health policies in Latin America, as it involves common challenges, both in terms of reducing the importation of medicines and medical equipment, as well as the need to strengthen access to medicines and medical treatments.
