AMCHAM calls for predictable health care policies to boost innovation

The American Chamber of Commerce in Korea (AMCHAM) has urged for stable, internationally coordinated health care policies during the Healthcare Innovation Seminar 2026 held in Seoul. The event, which gathered around 150 government officials, business leaders, and health care experts from South Korea and the United States, aimed to address the theme "From Reform to Execution: Building a Predictable Healthcare Innovation Ecosystem."

The discussions took place against the backdrop of ongoing negotiations between Korea and the United States on regulatory competitiveness and non-tariff barriers. Key themes emphasized during the seminar included the importance of predictable policy implementation, alignment with global standards, and enhanced public-private cooperation.

The agenda centered on three primary areas: the execution of pharmaceutical pricing reforms announced by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, improving patient access, fostering innovation, and attracting global investment.
