February 14, 2020 @ 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Task Force Health Care (TFHC) invites you to participate in an explorational meeting on the development of a dedicated consortium of companies and knowledge institutes towards Colombia. We aim to apply for a Partners for International Business (PIB) instrument to strengthen the position of Dutch LSH companies in Colombia and increase the success rate of business and projects. The meeting takes place on 14 February from 10:00 – 12:00 hours in The Hague.
Background Colombian healthcare sector
With a population of about 50 million people and an area of 1 109 500 km2 – Colombia is the 4th largest and Latin America’s fastest-growing and most stable economy. In the largest cities, one can receive a very high standard of healthcare. 23 out of 58 best hospitals in Latin America are located in Colombia, with a strong private sector that is willing to invest. Simultaneously, the government is investing millions of USD in the public sector to increase overall access to quality care and stimulate healthcare providers to invest in innovative solutions.
With the Dutch and Colombian having similar ‘Managed Competition’ health systems, and through four years (2015–2019) of intense bilateral high-level exchanges in healthcare, the Netherlands has been established as the number one reference country for many key stakeholders in Colombia. Colombia is actively seeking cooperation with Dutch knowledge institutes and innovative companies. Lately, great interest has been shown in the topics of oncology, senior care, nursing, and value-based healthcare.

Who should join?
Companies and knowledge institutes interested in Colombia, who seek governmental support and would like to work together with like-minded Dutch companies and organizations to position themselves strongly within a Dutch Value Chain towards Colombian healthcare stakeholders.
