Virtual Meeting with the Mexican Health Authority

The Confederation of Danish Industry (DI) and the Danish Embassy in Mexico are pleased to invite you to join a high-level virtual meeting with the Institute for Health for Wellbeing (INSABI), a central government agency that provides medical services for 43.5% of the Mexican population.

The Mexican health system consists of three main subsystems operating in parallel, each responsible for funding, service provision and, to a large extent, regulation. Coverage for the poor and uninsured is organized by INSABI at the federal level based on the General Health Law and with collaboration by state governments to cover about 43.5% of the population.

To centralize the public procurement of medicine and medical aid supplies, the Mexican authorities have initiated a cooperation with UNOPS. The Mexican authorities have a list of more than 800 products (please see categories below) that have been through the general procurement process but where they are still looking for suppliers. As part of the ongoing close collaboration with the Mexican Government, the Embassy has been approached by INSABI and requested to provide urgent assistance to identify Danish companies that could be interested in delivering the needed products.

 

WHO SHOULD JOIN AND WHY?

This is a unique opportunity to explore the possibilities for exporting life-science products to 43.5% of the Mexican market consisting of 130 million people. The event is targeted at both large companies and at SMEs exporting pharmaceuticals and medical supplies.
