Brazil’s Biopharmaceutical Sector Contributes to Economic Growth, Expands Access to Healthcare

Leave a comment

Global Health Progress (GHP) released a new report that reveals how the biopharmaceutical sector in Brazil, the tenth largest biopharmaceutical market in the world and the largest in Latin America, is an important driver for its economy. For instance, Brazil’s biopharmaceutical sector develops high-quality, highly skilled jobs, which is a key factor in creating a stable economy. Currently, approximately 821 biotechnology companies in Brazil employ almost 100,000 people with an average annual salary of approximately US $4,457. Among those companies, six biopharmaceutical companies were featured in a 2003 list of the top 100 companies to work for in Brazil.

Not only does the biopharmaceutical sector produce valuable job opportunities for highly skilled workers, this emerging market plays a critical role in fostering public-private partnerships, which leads to more economic growth and greater access to healthcare for its citizens.

Investment in research and development (R&D) and promoting innovation are key ways the Brazilian government is helping drive future growth of the country’s biopharmaceutical sector. For instance, R&D investments in Brazil have increased to 1.5% of GDP in 2010 and there are more than 205 highly trained physicians per 100,000 of the population serving as investigators for clinical studies.

“In Brazil, promoting innovation is a public policy priority,” stated Rafael Oliva, Advisor to the Presidency at the Brazilian Development Bank. “The participation of the Brazilian government in research and development (R&D) is considerable, and the goal is to both increase innovative activities in Brazil on a systematic basis, and to consolidate the country’s culture of innovation.” GHP fact sheet shows how Brazil’s investment in research and development (R&D) will create positive effects throughout the economy, including improving access to healthcare for its citizens through the production of new medicines. The growing field of clinical trials is also a significant factor in improving access to healthcare. Brazil’s large population of 190 million people, with 8 out of every 10 residents living in or near a city, means clinical trial recruitment and participation is fairly robust.

Drug And Alcohol Treatment Is Not Only For The Rich And Famous

Leave a comment

According to Treatment-Centers.net, drug and alcohol treatment options affect people across all walks of life. Although some people may associate addictions with the rich and famous, the reality is that this problem is not biased when it comes to selecting its victims. And because of that some groups of individuals have a harder time than others in finding a drug or alcohol treatment center that is right for them. Treatment-Centers.net works to connect those in need with a top quality drug and alcohol rehabilitation center that is also affordable. Affordability is often the missing piece of the puzzle when an individual decides to seek help for a drug or alcohol problem.

September, 2010 – The public benefit service Treatment-Centers.net provides an online directory of centers that offer drug and alcohol treatment. The website also offers resources, a self-assessment and lots of helpful information that friends and family members as well as those addicted are likely to find useful when making decisions about drug or alcohol treatment center options. When addiction strikes most families feel helpless. Learning more about addictions is one way to feel more empowered during this difficult time. The free materials provided at Treatment-Centers.net combine to create a comprehensive alcohol and addiction resource.

Celeb gossip magazines and TV shows that follow celebrities can sometimes give the impression that it is only the rich and famous that have problems with drugs and alcohol. The focus is often on the pressures faced by these individuals due to their fame and the accompanying lifestyle. Paris Hilton being in possession of cocaine and Lindsey Lohan reportedly being addicted to methamphetamine have been recent headlines. While these problems cannot be minimized just because the individuals involved are rich and famous, it does need to be pointed out that being rich has lots of benefits, even when it comes to an addiction.

The stories often neglect to mention the advantages that these individuals have over the ‘typical’ person dealing with an addiction. The rich and famous do not have to be concerned with the cost of the care at any drug or alcohol rehabilitation center they may choose to go to. This is a huge advantage, and it is one that has not gone unnoticed by Treatment-Centers.net.

Financial concerns are sometimes why individuals do not seek the help they need. But that does not have to be the case. Treatment-Centers.net is not directly affiliated with any drug or alcohol treatment center. This means that the website truly exists as a public benefit service. It is designed to help all people suffering with an addiction, whether they have money or not. Treatment-Centers.net provides the largest and most comprehensive directory of treatment centers available. With this directory listing it is a simple process to find a drug and alcohol treatment facility that meets the needs of any individual. The basic listings give general information with contact details. From there more information can be gathered.

Drug Treatments Made Available To Those Who Need It Regardless Of Social Or Financial Status

Leave a comment

Treatment-Centers.net offers an innovative approach to connecting addicts with quality centers that can provide the drug treatments needed. This is not dependent upon sources of income or whether or not the individual has insurance. Treatment-Centers.net has the resources available to unite virtually any drug addict with a suitable drug treatment center, all without any difficulty whatsoever.

This is made possible because Treatment-Centers.net works as a sort of conduit to facilitate the process. This public benefit service provides a platform in the form of a massive online directory in which drug rehab facilities can list their drug treatment center. In this way individuals that need help can find drug rehab facilities in their chosen area. The basic listing includes enough information to determine if the center is an option or not. More information can be gathered if there is an interest in the facility and the search can eventually be narrowed down until the ideal center is found.

Besides offering a simple but extensive directory the website at Treatment-Centers.net also provides resources and other useful information that can assist in guiding individuals at a time when they are likely feeling stressed and out of sorts. This includes information about addiction intervention and how to handle that difficult and uncomfortable situation.

It is often a family member of the addict that seeks help for an addiction and this can be a tremendous burden. Having reliable information available can make the process easier. The site is an ideal place to gather information about specific addictions, various drug treatments, or even how to determine if an addiction intervention is necessary. The site also offers a confidential online assessment that can help determine an individual’s specific needs.

Because this online public benefit service is inherently discreet it is the perfect way to explore drug treatment options. The anonymity afforded by the use of the computer makes many people feel free to gather more information than they would using other methods. This in turn can result in more people getting the help they need sooner. Treatment-Centers.net continues to add resources and information at the site, making it easier for more people to educate themselves and get the help they need.
