6 FEBRUARY 2026Healthcare systems across Latin America are operating under sustained pressure to deliver better outcomes with tighter resources, higher regulatory complexity, and rising expectations for operational reliability. This edition of Healthcare Business Review Latin America examines how efficiency, integration, and disciplined execution are emerging as decisive factors for resilience and long-term sustainability across the healthcare value chain.At the centre of this issue is Simon Hegele Healthcare Solutions SA de CV, recognised as Healthcare Supply Chain Management Services Company of the Year in Latin America 2026. The company has redefined healthcare logistics in the region by focusing exclusively on patient-critical medical equipment and treating supply chain execution as a clinical enabler. With deep technical expertise, regulatory command, and a fully integrated 360 degree service model, Simon Hegele eliminates fragmentation across transportation, installation, project coordination, and lifecycle management. By aligning global standards with local regulatory realities across Latin America, the company has set a benchmark for how healthcare supply chains can directly support clinical performance and patient outcomes.Beyond the cover story, this issue highlights executive perspectives on efficiency and sustainability as strategic imperatives. Justine Montalvão, Head of Enterprise Services Consulting LAM at Siemens Healthineers, emphasises that laboratory medicine survival now depends on disciplined process management, data-based decision-making, digitalisation, and workforce capability. In parallel, Calvin Parshad, National Director, Business Development at DaVita Kidney Care, outlines how circular healthcare economy principles can decouple growth from waste by integrating digital infrastructure, population health insights, and cross-sector collaboration.Together, these perspectives underscore a clear direction for healthcare leadership. Organisations that prioritise execution, efficiency, and system accountability are setting the pace for sustainable healthcare delivery. Readers are encouraged to explore how the companies and leaders featured in this issue are shaping the next phase of healthcare performance across Latin America.Alex D'souzaManaging Editoreditor@healthcarebusinessreview.comRedefining Healthcare Operations in Latin AmericaManaging EditorAlex D'souzaEditorial StaffAaron PaulGina ClumskyJoe PhillipJames SmithMark RobertYenny TurnerCopyright © 2026 ValleyMedia, Inc.
