Health Care Compliance Check-up: Brazil

The Ropes & Gray Global Health Care Compliance Initiative’s virtual trip around the world podcast series highlights our collaboration with our local counsel contacts, in particular the Local Law Comparison Guide. The Local Law Comparison Guide (the “Guide”) is a resource tool providing country-specific surveys that analyze legal, regulatory and industry requirements governing industry interactions with health care professionals. As part of this series, Ropes & Gray attorneys interview our local counsel partners, who are based around the world and helped develop the Guide. These discussions highlight notable health care regulations and developments impacting compliance in our local counsel partners’ respective countries. In this episode, we are joined by Ana Cândida, partner, and Maira Materagia, attorney, at Mattos Filho, our local partners in Brazil. Alison Fethke, counsel at Ropes & Gray, discusses with Maira and Ana Brazil’s regulatory regime and changes brought by the COVID-19 pandemic.
