Healthcare System
Argentina’s healthcare system comprises three main sectors: public, social security, and private.22,23
Public Sector: This includes a network of public hospitals and primary healthcare units that provide care to the poor and uninsured population. It is financed with taxes and payments made by social security beneficiaries who use public healthcare facilities. Currently, about half of the population uses the public system.22,24
Social Security Sector: Also known as Obras Sociales, this sector covers all formal economy workers and their families. It operates through contracts with private providers and is financed with payroll contributions from employers and employees. The social security sector is managed by labor union-run health insurance schemes, with over 300 Obras Sociales in Argentina.22,23
Private Sector: This includes private providers offering services to individuals, beneficiaries of Obras Sociales, and those with private health insurance. The private sector also includes prepaid medicine enterprises, financed chiefly through premiums paid by families and employers. About 13.6% of the population is covered by the private system, and 10.4% has more than one type of coverage.24
The Ministry of Health (MSAL) oversees all three subsectors of the healthcare system and is responsible for setting regulations, conducting evaluations, and collecting statistics.22 The healthcare system in Argentina is known for its high-quality services, especially in major cities, and it is accessible to both residents and foreigners. Public health services provide free hospital, medical, dental, and palliative care. In contrast, private health services offer a higher level of care with reduced waiting times.25
Most of the population of Latin America receives healthcare services mainly through public not-for-profit hospitals that are part of the public healthcare system.26–31 Most clinical research experts in Latin America agree that conducting clinical trials at public not-for-profit hospitals is challenging due to bureaucracy, delays in institutional review board approvals, and contract negotiations and signing. This forces most CROs and sponsors in Latin America to prefer private for-profit hospitals over public hospitals when selecting research sites for their studies. Contrary to most countries in Latin America, only about 50% of the Argentinian population uses public sector hospitals.22 This situation gives Argentina an advantage over most Latin American countries since, in Argentina there’s a larger patient pool (50% of the 44 million) in private hospitals than in most other countries in Latin America. Recent government findings report that 88% of the clinical trial activity in Argentina happens in private for-profit hospitals.3
Clinical Trials Growth
The medical device clinical trial market is growing in Latin America. According to the provided sources, there was a significant increase in medical device trials in the region, with a 138% increase from 17 trials in 2017 to 31 trials in 2020.32 Additionally, the Latin America Clinical Trials Market is projected to reach $2.76 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 8.20% from 2022 to 2027, indicating a positive growth trend in the market for clinical trials, which includes medical device trials.33
The remarkable growth in clinical trials in Argentina and substantial foreign sponsorship delineates a promising trajectory for the nation’s role in global medical research. This growth encompasses several vital factors:
According to a report from the Argentinian Ministry of Sciences and Technology, foreign manufacturers sponsor 91.8% of clinical trials in the country.3
According to ClinicalTrials.gov, from 2010 to 2021, clinical trials in Argentina saw a 61% increase, evidencing the country’s expanding research capabilities and attractiveness to international sponsors. Argentina now averages about 200 new clinical trials annually, which positions the country after Chile as the second highest recipient of foreign-sponsored clinical trials in Latin America per million population.34,35
As of March 2024, Argentina hosted 3,935 clinical studies with diverse phases, indicating a robust clinical trial ecosystem.35
According to the data, as of 2017, the urban population of Argentina represented 92% of the country’s total population, making it one of the most urbanized countries in the world and surpassing both European and United States averages.36 This level of urbanization places Argentina among the highest in Latin America, with the region being the most urbanized region globally, where about 80% of the population lives in cities.37 This data suggests a high concentration of potential trial subjects and qualified medical professionals, as well as low dropout rates.38
The country’s qualified and reliable medical professionals contribute to low dropout rates and strong enrollment and compliance rates. This has led to excellent quality data being seen in all FDA and EMA audits.38
These elements collectively position Argentina as a burgeoning hub for clinical trials, attracting significant foreign investment and sponsorship and contributing to the global advancement of medical science.
The Regulatory Framework For Medtech Clinical Trials In Argentina
Clinical trials for medical devices in Argentina must adhere to specific requirements set forth by the Ministry of Health (MoH) Regulation No. 969 of 1997 and ANMAT Regulation No. 6,777 of 2010. These regulations mandate that ANMAT and an accredited ethics committee within the country approve the clinical trial protocol.19 These are the steps to approve a medical device clinical trial in Argentina:
Institutional Review Board/Ethics Committee Approval: Approval from an independent ethics committee and the medical institution where the trial will be conducted is required. According to local industry experts, this approval can take 15 working days.
Submission of Documentation to ANMAT: Sponsors must submit a comprehensive set of documents to ANMAT for review. This includes the clinical trial protocol, informed consent forms, medical device and investigator information, and details about the trial sponsor.4,39
Review by ANMAT: Upon receiving the documentation, ANMAT conducts a thorough review to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and good clinical practices. This includes evaluating the study’s scientific validity, the participants’ safety and rights, and the adequacy of the informed consent process.4
Validation Period: A “validation period” of three working days is established, during which only complete packages will move forward to the evaluation process.38
Technical and Administrative Evaluation: The evaluation process is expected to take 60 working days for technical evaluation plus an additional 10 working days for administrative aspects, totaling 70 working days.38
Registration at ReNIS: Sponsors must register their study at the National Registry of Health Research (ReNIS), the national registry for clinical trial disclosure.4
Effective June 5, 2017, these guidelines were designed to streamline regulatory timelines and promote greater efficiency, economy, transparency, and predictability while adhering to strict international guidelines for patient safety. These regulatory changes have aimed to accelerate the evaluation process from longer durations to the current timelines. Regular reviews and updates of regulations facilitate the adoption of new clinical trial designs and more agile marketing approvals for new medical products in Argentina. These changes reflect Argentina’s commitment to improving the efficiency of its clinical trial regulatory environment.40,41
Conclusion
Argentina is one of the top economies in Latin America. According to the International Monetary Fund’s October 2023 World Economic Outlook database estimates, the country ranks as the third-largest economy in Latin America by gross domestic product (GDP) at purchasing power parity (PPP), following Brazil and Mexico.42 This is further supported by the World Bank, which notes that with a GDP of approximately $650 billion, Argentina is one of the largest economies in the region.43 Additionally, Argentina is recognized for its vast natural resources in energy and agriculture, which contribute significantly to its economy. Challenges in Argentina’s medical device field include strict currency controls, high inflation, and low foreign investment. Despite these economic hurdles, the demand for imported essential and specialized medical equipment remains high, offering business and clinical trial opportunities for medical device manufacturers.21 The country is now poised to become a significant hub for medtech clinical trials due to streamlined regulatory processes, a large and diverse population, a robust medical infrastructure, lower hospital fees, and a thriving clinical trial landscape. As Argentina navigates the clinical trial industry’s complexities, it fosters an environment ripe for scientific advancement and collaborative international research efforts. The potential for growth and innovation and realizing Argentina’s full capabilities for medical device clinical trials remains exciting.
