The Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) welcomes the opportunity to provide comments to Public Consultation #8 published by the Brazilian Ministry of Health on August 14, 2014 which proposes a new regulation defining the guidelines and criteria for the submission, formation, monitoring and evaluation of PDP (Public-Private Productive Development Partnerships) projects.

At the outset BIO commends the Brazilian Ministry of Health for its efforts to revisit its policies and establish clearer rules for forming PDPs.  However, BIO also has identified in the proposed regulations a number of potential issues which may undermine Brazil’s goals of making the country more competitive globally in the biopharmaceutical space and that may compromise the most important of all issues, that of providing safe and effective drugs to Brazilian patients.
