Brazilian Vice-President Geraldo Alckmin said that by 2033, the country plans to meet 70 per cent of its domestic demand for medical products through domestic production.
To achieve this goal, he said Brazil will develop the production of components for medicines and support scientific research.
According to the report, the country had risen from 18th to 12th place globally in terms of the number of clinical trials initiated.
This opens up further opportunities for the development of new medicines and treatments.
The authorities are also focusing on disease prevention, vaccination, early diagnosis and patient rehabilitation.
