Brasília – A coalition formed by representatives of the health industry is organizing to strengthen participation in the Health Economic-Industrial Complex (CEIS) agenda, positioning the sector as a strategic partner in Brazil’s industrial and innovation policy. The group aims to coordinate proposals related to local production, technological development and regulatory modernization, seeking alignment with federal initiatives designed to expand domestic capacity in pharmaceuticals, vaccines, medical devices and strategic health inputs.

Industry leaders argue that structured engagement with the federal government can accelerate investment, reduce external dependency and reinforce supply chain resilience, particularly in light of vulnerabilities exposed during the COVID-19 pandemic. The coalition intends to contribute to policy discussions involving technological procurement, research incentives and financing mechanisms tied to the Unified Health System (SUS), advocating for a long-term strategy that integrates industrial competitiveness with public health priorities.
