Abstract

In a context of rapid technological innovation and expensive new products, the paper calls for the generation of real-world data to inform decision-making and an international discussion on the affordability of new medicines, particularly for low- and middle-income countries. Without these, the challenges of health judicialization will continue to grow.

Between 1970 and 2019, the proportion of the elderly population of Latin America and the Caribbean (those 60 years of age or older) more than doubled: from approximately 5.8% to 12.8% (UN Population Prospects, 2022). The overall prevalence of non-communicable diseases tends to increase overtime, together with this greater participation of older population groups in the total population, as the prevalence of non-communicable diseases is greater in these population groups.Google Scholar
