Health and Pharmaceuticals
The turnover of producers, distributors and service providers, as well as public and private expenditure in the health sector represent a significant weight in Portugal’s gross domestic product.
This will tend to increase as a result of the greater demands of citizens and users, technological and therapeutic developments, demographic conditions and the new post-pandemic reality.
In a welfare state with a robust but crisis-ridden national health service, public-private partnerships and private initiative may be the solution. As investment in research and development increases, with visible results, the opportunities are enormous, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry. In any case, regulatory challenges are ever-present.
