Argentina, with a population of 45.8 million people, has a relatively important medical devices industry. The level of resources to finance health is substantial with circa US$42 billion per year (9.4% of GDP 2019).
In 2017, the total turnover of the medical technology sector was around US$2 billion (manufacturers, importers, distributors, service providers and traders), and US$450 million was produced locally. From the 2,000 registered importers, 690 import more than US$100,000 per year. Swiss participation in the annual US$ 1.1 billion import is still timid, meaning there are opportunities to be tackled.
