Second edition of the Observatory
What is the purpose of the observatory?
OBPR 2.0 is a regional initiative that examines the adoption of World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations in regulatory systems across Latin America.
This 2026 edition focuses on the practical implementation and performance of regulatory systems. We seek to understand how the principles of good practice are reflected in users’ daily experiences and in day-to-day regulatory processes, with the aim of generating technical evidence that contributes to the strengthening of National Regulatory Systems.
It allows us to measure regulatory progress against international standards and identifies key opportunities for improvement at the national level. By participating, you help strengthen regional regulatory convergence processes while also helping to generate valuable technical evidence for strategic decision-making in the sector.
The OBPR 2.0 reflects the technical perspectives of the various stakeholders who interact with regulatory systems in Latin America.
We want to shape the regional landscape and contribute to the ongoing improvement of pharmaceutical regulation in Latin America; the input of all members of your organization is essential.
