“We are improving the knowledge and skills of our staff so that it can be even more efficient in the search for investments in health", said Quirós

Continuing the Health Project, recently announced by Investe São Paulo, the agency’s staff participated on April 23 in a training with the deputy state secretary of Health, Wilson Pollara. The purpose was to provide an overview on the healthcare market in Brazil and especially in the state of São Paulo.

Pollara highlighted some latent opportunities in the healthcare market, such as the development of structures for immediate care in major specialties and the formation of a clinical staff sufficient to meet the demand. In addition, he also pointed out some challenges currently faced the sector:

“Today, only 18% of the service demand is directed to the high complexity care. Therefore, the main challenge in the healthcare sector is to meet simple cases simply, thus managing to focus the attention on the demand for complex services,” said the state deputy state secretary of Health.

The training was attended by the Agency’s directors, managers and advisors. The president of Investe SP, Juan Quirós, reinforced the Agency’s commitment to add successful experiences to the healthcare sector in São Paulo and Brazil.
“We are improving the knowledge and skills of our staff so that it can be even more efficient in the search for investments in health, increasing the attraction of small and large companies operating in the sector,” said Quirós.

Created after the enactment, in the first half of this month, of the federal law that permits the opening of the provision of health services to foreign capital, Investe SP’s project allows investments in the production chain of the private sector, including the sectors of medical and hospital machinery and equipment, supplies and drugs, creating a new business environment.
