Introduction
Just five years ago, a document like this fact sheet didn’t exist.
And we know this is true, because back then, we scoured online
and offline sources looking for documents with hospital data for
Latin America. At the time we were handling market intelligence
projects for clients in the healthcare industry and had difficulty
researching Latin American hospitals because of the significant
lack of available data.
That gap is what inspired us to create Global Health Intelligence,

building a team to scope out the pertinent information that medi-
cal device manufacturers and other healthcare professionals
needed to track market changes and discover sales opportuni-
ties. It’s taken us several years, but we’ve made some significant
progress. These days, our database—known as HospiScope—of-
fers more than 140 data points for each one of more than 18,000
hospitals in 14 countries. Overall, HospiScope contains detailed
data on nearly 90% of the medical facilities in Latin America.
These fact sheets for different countries give you an essential

portrait of the key resources available in Latin American hospitals,
including infrastructure, use of healthcare technology and
installed equipment. We hope that they’ll serve as helpful
resource for you in understanding the region’s medical facilities.
But if you’d like deepen you understanding further, we have a
number of additional resources you can explore:
5 Mega-Trends in Latin American Healthcare
This whitepaper combines epidemiological and demographic

data with new 2018 information about equipment and technology

healthcare, including hot markets for medical devices, conditions
most affecting Latin America, deep dives into specific LatAm
countries, import data, key public health concerns and more.
HospiScope

HospiScope. But they’re only the tip of the iceberg. To really un-
derstand the depth of what HospiScope offers and how it can
