The American Chamber of Commerce in Korea (AMCHAM) has urged for stable and internationally aligned healthcare policies to enhance patient access, spur innovation, and draw in global investment. This plea was made during the Healthcare Innovation Seminar 2026, which was organized by AMCHAM in Seoul. Around 150 government officials, business leaders, and healthcare experts from both Korea and the United States convened at the 17th annual gathering.
The event was themed "From Reform to Execution: Building a Predictable Healthcare Innovation Ecosystem." The discussions centered on how Korea could convert healthcare reforms into concrete results and foster a more innovation-friendly regulatory setting. The talks took place as Korea-U.S. discussions on regulatory competitiveness and non-tariff barriers persist.
Participants emphasized the importance of predictable policy execution, alignment with international standards, and enhanced public-private collaboration as pivotal elements in bolstering Korea's competitiveness in the healthcare sector. The event's agenda concentrated on three domains: the implementation of pharmaceutical pricing reforms announced by the Ministry of Health and Welfare.
