Resumen
Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar las características principales de la industria de equipamiento médico en el MERCOSUR, así como las medidas adoptadas en relación a ella a partir de la pandemia de COVID-19. Parte de las vinculaciones teóricas entre seguridad y autonomía sanitaria para identificar el papel de la industria del equipamiento en ambos conceptos. Con este soporte teórico como base, analiza las características de dicha industria en Brasil y Argentina, así como las medidas vinculadas al sector que se anunciaron como consecuencia de la pandemia, tanto a nivel nacional como, en menor medida, regional. Lo hace siguiendo una metodología cualitativa que se apoya en información de fuentes primarias, secundarias y entrevistas en profundidad. Concluye que, aunque ambos países han reconocido el valor de esta industria, la ausencia de una perspectiva regional para su desarrollo limita su capacidad de consolidarse como referencia de la seguridad y de la autonomía sanitaria regional.
This article aims to analyze the main characteristics of the medical equipment industry in MERCOSUR, as well as decisions on this industry adopted since the COVID-19 pandemic. It starts by referring to the main theoretical discussions on health security and autonomy, identifying the role of medical equipment in both concepts. Afterward, the main characteristics of the medical equipment industry in Brazil and Argentina are analyzed, as well as the decisions adopted on a national and regional level. With a qualitative methodology, this research is based on a review of primary and secondary sources, as well as in-depth interviews. It is concluded that, even if Brazil and Argentina did recognize a renewed value of this industry, the lack of a regional perspective limits its capability of becoming a relevant sector for health security and autonomy in Latin America.
