HCB News: What do you expect to be some of the big topics of conversation among attendees this year?
GA: At FIME, attendees can expect a diverse range of topics to dominate conversations. One notable subject of discussion is the emergence of ChatGPT, a technology that has garnered both curiosity and concerns. Conversations will revolve around the potential impact of these technologies on various aspects of life, including work, family dynamics, and even the implications for children. Additionally, participants will engage in discussions surrounding the growing Latin American healthcare market and its notable growth drivers, such as increased healthcare expenditure, the rise of chronic diseases, and the expanding aging population. Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia are expected to be focal points as the largest markets in the region.

Over the past few decades, governments in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) have implemented progressive policies and interventions aimed at achieving universal health coverage (UHC) and strengthening health system performance. These efforts have focused on reducing fragmentation in healthcare financing and organization, ensuring consistent quality of services, and utilizing public-sector financing in a comprehensive manner. Governments have also incentivized improved health outcomes and financial protection through measures like explicit entitlements, enforceable guarantees, and supply-side incentives. Moreover, governance and accountability have been prioritized in health policy efforts.
