() has announced the addition of Decision Resources, Inc's new report "Pharmaceutical Pricing, Reimbursement, and Market Access in Argentina" to their offering.

Argentina, the fourth-largest pharmaceutical market in Latin America and one of the fastest-growing markets in the world, may appear very attractive to multinationals, but achieving success in this country is by no means easy for outsiders. Foreign companies need to understand the structure of the Argentine healthcare system, the limitations of intellectual property protection, pricing trends, and coverage policies for prescription drugs. In addition, multinationals must be prepared for a general legal and commercial environment that presents formidable challenges.
