Summary: Chile
Chile is currently reforming its healthcare policies in order to ensure that all citizens are guaranteed at least a minimum level of healthcare. Traditionally, the Chilean market has been relatively free in pricing terms, but this may change as the government has become concerned with the promotional methods being used by certain manufacturers to increase sales of their products. The government is openly promoting greater use of generics.
