However, there is generally a significant size difference between public and private hospitals in Latin America, and that is likely to be reflected in the base installed equipment counts covered by HospiRank. As such, GHI decided to create a ranking solely for private hospitals in Latin America, covering 4 key categories:

  • Best Equipped for Hosting Patients
  • Highest Count of Basic Surgical Equipment
  • Best-Equipped Hospitals for Advanced Diagnostic Imaging
  • Best-Equipped Hospitals for High-Risk Patients

Towards the end of Q4 2021, GHI shared the results of its ranking of LatAm private hospitals via a webinar organized in partnership with El Hospital, the leading hospital and healthcare industry magazine in Latin America.

Below you can view the webinar, which was held only in Spanish.

Free Report: The Best-Equipped Private Hospitals in Latin America https://globalhealthintelligence.com/ghi-analysis/free-report-the-best-equipped-private-hospitals-in-latin-america/ Thu, 13 Jan 2022 02:51:51 +0000 https://globalhealthintelligence.com/?p=16499 Since 2017 Global Health Intelligence (GHI) has been producing HospiRank, its ranking of the best-equipped hospitals in Latin America.

HospiRank focuses on all of the hospitals in the region and is created based on an analysis of public, mixed and private healthcare institutions in Latin America.

However, it’s clear that public hospitals and clinics in Latin America are often much larger than private ones, so it’s challenging to create a ranking that includes representative amounts of all types. Recently, El Hospital, Latin America’s leading publication on hospitals and healthcare, approached GHI to create a ranking for just private hospitals. We used the data from our HospiScope database to create the ranking and shared the results in a webinar that we helped organize in partnership with El Hospital.

As a way to help medical equipment/devices companies, healthcare professionals and others to have a clearer sense of the resources available in LatAm’s private hospitals, we have created this ranking report of the best-equipped private hospitals in Latin America.

The Recent Growth of Robotic Surgery in Latin America https://globalhealthintelligence.com/ghi-analysis/the-recent-growth-of-robotic-surgery-in-latin-america/ Wed, 27 Oct 2021 15:01:48 +0000 https://globalhealthintelligence.com/?p=16012 July 2021 may have been one of the most eventful months for robotic surgery in Latin America:

  • In Chile, the Hospital Clínico de la Red de Salud UC CHRISTUS announced its acquisition of the Medtronic HUGOTM RAS system
  • In Puerto Rico, the Hospital del Centro Comprensivo de Cáncer de la Universidad de Puerto Rico announced its acquisition of a DaVinci XI system
  • In Panama, the first gynecological procedures ever performed with a Medtronic HUGOTM RAS (robotic-assisted surgery) system were done at Pacífica Salud Hospital

But July wasn’t the only month with developments in LatAm’s robotic surgery adoption and deployment:


In fact, it’s hard to keep up with the constant developments, as more and more hospitals announce the purchase of such high-tech and state-of-the-art systems. Global Health Intelligence’s research team has tracked more than 30 acquisitions of robotic surgery systems in Latin America during 2020-2021*. “The LatAm med tech market is evolving rapidly,” explains Matt Collins, Director of Marketing for Hugo TM in LATAM. “One reason for that change is the fact that purchasing large capital equipment is becoming easier. Take the example of Medtronic’s Hugo TM RAS system. Now, for the first time ever, hospitals can work with a single manufacturer to purchase open, lap, and robotic surgical solutions. This kind of choice is powerful, and certainly makes the life of hospital managers easier. I’m just happy to be part of the journey to make these possibilities a reality for hospitals in LATAM,” he says.

The Latin American Robotic Surgery Market by the Numbers

Over 50% of the total amount of robotic surgery systems in the Latin American market have been acquired over the past 5 years, and almost 30% of that total was reached over the past year and a half.

According to Global Health Intelligence (GHI) analysis, the most present robotic surgery devices on the market are the DaVinci models, which represent 85% of the Latin American installed base; the DaVinci Si is the best-selling model. In terms of market share in LatAm, the Da Vinci brand is followed by Cyberknife, which accounts for 9% of the installed base, and Rosa, which accounts for 5%.

Medtronic, one of the world’s largest medical device and technology firms, recently launched its HUGOTM system, which was conceived to offer institutions a highly intuitive system at a lower total cost of ownership than the current systems in place, along with training system support to help hospitals maximize their ROI.

Medtronic Hugo Robotic-assisted surgery (RAS)

“The real value that large med tech companies bring to the robotic landscape isn’t just with the hardware: it’s the total solution they can deliver based on their existing footprint and manufacturing capabilities. It’s much easier for companies like Medtronic to deliver training, local support, and reliable tech services — not to mention, cost-effective instruments,” says Collins.

Further analysis by GHI’s research team indicates that more than 80% of the robotic surgery systems in Latin America belong to the private healthcare system, while the rest are in public hospitals. While public institutions have recently ramped up the acquisition of such systems, this is a stark contrast to how care is typically delivered across the region, where nearly two-thirds of the population attends public healthcare institutions.

Number of Robotic Surgery Systems Acquired in Latin America, 2017-2021

One well-known robotic surgery acquisition was made by Argentina’s National Atomic Energy Commission, which is building the first proton therapy center in Latin America. To this end, the Commission has already acquired the CyberKnife linear accelerator for radiosurgery, which is used for both adults and children, thus extending the impact of robotic surgery to pediatric medicine.

New Systems and More Specialties

Da Vinci is one of the most widely used and best-known platforms in the market, and is implemented in various procedures, such as prostate cancer surgery, renal and bladder surgery, in addition to its use in general surgery in cases such as cholecystectomy, colon and rectal cancer, gastroesophageal reflux surgery and gynecological surgery. With the precision with which surgeons can operate using robotic surgery platforms, their use was extended to new specialties, such as breast cancer surgery and coronary bypass surgery, among others. In Mexico, the Ángeles hospital chain has a robotic surgery center and 6 of its hospitals perform a wide variety of procedures.

The incorporation of new robotic platforms for surgery has made it possible to cover more procedures, such as arthroscopy assisted by the Rosa Knee robot, which in addition to providing greater precision and range of motion to professionals, facilitates faster and better patient recovery.

“With the ROSA Robot, we not only have precision in the placement of implants, but it also allows us to ensure that the soft parts and the balance of the ligaments are perfect, which in the long term improves the patient’s well-being. Through the Rosa Robot, patients have less residual pain after having a perfect soft-tissue balance, which allows them to return to daily life activities more quickly and in the best conditions,” says Dr. Carlos Sandoval, head of the knee team at the MEDS Clinic in Chile, which is one of the countries in the region with the most acquisitions.

New Technology, Greater Advantages

Despite the significant investment required to procure surgical robots, studies suggest that minimally invasive surgery via robotics offers several advantages, including:

  • Greater visibility and precision, which should result in smaller incisions and smaller scars
  • Easy access to complex or delicate anatomical areas
  • Reduced risk of infection
  • Less bleeding and pain for the patient
  • Faster recovery and shorter hospital or clinic stay

The Impact of the Pandemic

It’s still too early to tell if the budgetary challenges sparked by the pandemic will result in fewer surgical robot systems being acquired by Latin American hospitals in the future. At this point, the market is still seeing the results of acquisition plans made before the pandemic. As 2022 and 2023 progress, we will have a better sense of the rate at which robotic surgery will grow in the region, along with the primary factors that drive acquisitions by hospitals.

As of October 2021, GHI analysis indicates that more than 130 medical institutions in Latin America (both private and public) have robotic surgery systems and that there are more than 150 robotic surgery devices/systems in use throughout the region.

Our team can help your company understand not only the current market but also future growth potential and the unique characteristics of hospitals that tend to acquire robotic surgery systems to help you define your sales targets with greater precision.

You may also find our other resources helpful as well, ranging from our LatAm Hospital Monitoring Service and HospiScope database to our SurgiScope database and ShareScope service, among others.

* This does not mean these systems were purchased in 2021 or 2020. GHI data tracks when hospitals announce a purchase, divulge an acquisition to our research team or announce the use of such equipment for the first time. Hospitals typically plan the acquisition of high-tech equipment (such as robotic surgery systems) over several years.  Therefore, it is likely that the plans to purchase this equipment were developed several years prior and only in 2020-2021 did these come to fruition.

Top 2022 Opportunities with Peru’s Medical Equipment Market https://globalhealthintelligence.com/ghi-analysis/top-2022-opportunities-with-perus-medical-equipment-market/ Wed, 27 Oct 2021 12:25:01 +0000 https://globalhealthintelligence.com/?p=15976 As of August 2021, Peru’s National Cancer Law went into effect. Its primary objective is to “guarantee universal, free and priority coverage of health services for all oncology patients, regardless of the type of cancer they suffer from.” However, the law also authorizes the Ministry of Health to carry out the technological renovation of biomedical equipment, as well as the expansion and improvement of the oncology hospital infrastructure at a national level, according to the budgetary availability of its sector.” In line with this great advance for Peruvians, purchases of linear accelerators and high-precision radiotherapy equipment by public and private hospitals have been recorded in the last year. Thanks to this new standard, and the intangibility of the cancer budget, which prevents resources from being diverted to other services, an excellent opportunity has opened up for the medical device industry.

GHI recently conducted an analysis of procurement trends in Peruvian hospitals, calculating the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) between 2019 and 2023.

The Top 10 Medical Equipment Opportunities in Mexico for 2022 https://globalhealthintelligence.com/ghi-analysis/the-top-10-medical-equipment-opportunities-in-mexico-for-2022/ Mon, 23 Aug 2021 21:26:46 +0000 https://globalhealthintelligence.com/?p=15144 Despite the devastation of the COVID-19 pandemic, there are grounds for optimism with regard to Mexico’s medical equipment/devices market. For example, a July 2021 article from Fitch Solutions projects that Mexico’s medical device market will register a 2020-2025 CAGR of 8.6% in USD, giving it a value of US$7.6 billion by 2025. The firm further forecasts double-digit growth for the Mexican medical device market in 2022.

In reviewing Global Health Intelligence’s (GHI’s) recent research on the area, which comes from our HospiScope database, we noticed strong growth in diagnostic imaging equipment in Mexico during 2020 and recently highlighted 3 equipment categories that posted double-digit growth last year.

As a company, GHI has been tracking base installed equipment for hospitals in Latin America since 2014, and this has allowed us to create historical projections based on the changes we have observed as our team directly confirms equipment counts as part of the constant updating of HospiScope. We recently calculated CAGR for more than 30 different categories of medical equipment in Mexico for 2019-2023. Based on those calculations, below we offer projections for the 12 medical equipment categories in Mexico which are likely to have the strongest growth in 2022 — along with 5 that are projected to suffer the sharpest contractions.
