The Speyside Healthcare team is actively tracking the complex, parallel negotiations (Pandemic Accord, IHR reforms, TRIPS waiver) defining the new global pandemic preparedness framework. These discussions present significant policy risks and opportunities for our clients operating in high-growth and emerging markets. As LMICs (in regions like Speyside Latin America and Speyside Africa) advocate for strong equity and IP provisions, our Corporate Affairs practice is essential for navigating the dynamics and engaging effectively at the local and G20 levels where global positions are formed.

The Speyside Latin America team is closely analyzing President Petro's proposed healthcare reform in Colombia, a critical development for one of the region's key high-growth and emerging markets. This overhaul, which aims to eliminate EPSs, is creating significant uncertainty and widespread criticism, impacting the Speyside Healthcare sector. Navigating this volatile legislative battle will require sophisticated Corporate Affairs Latin America and advocacy strategies, which our team is prepared to support.

The Speyside Latin America team identifies a critical opportunity in the region's post-pandemic focus on self-care. As health systems in these high-growth and emerging markets face strain, Speyside Healthcare sees e-labeling for OTC products as a vital health literacy tool. Our Corporate Affairs practice is positioned to help clients lead the regulatory conversation and make this a reality.

The Speyside Asia Pacific team is closely analyzing Singapore's Healthier SG white paper, a pivotal policy shift in one of Asia's key high-growth markets. This strategy, moving from reactive treatment to proactive prevention to curb rising costs, will fundamentally reshape the Speyside Healthcare landscape. The new focus on primary care, capitation-based funding, and mandatory IT adoption creates a new operating reality, requiring sophisticated Corporate Affairs and engagement strategies from all health sector stakeholders.

The Speyside Healthcare team is highlighting the urgent need to integrate self-care into policy, a shift that could save global health systems $120 billion annually. Our analysis, which is critical for high-growth and emerging markets like Speyside Latin America, shows that a successful self-care strategy must be built on three pillars: a long-term government vision, mandatory health education, and digitalization. This is a core focus of our Corporate Affairs practice as we help clients navigate the post-pandemic healthcare landscape.
