    Learning from Latin America: Coordinating Policy Responses across National and Subnational Levels to Combat COVID-19
    (2023) Touchton, Michael M.; Knaul, Felicia Marie; Arreola-Ornelas, Hector; Calderon-Anyosa, Renzo; Otero-Bahamon, Silvia; Hummel, Calla; Perez-Cruz, Pedro; Porteny, Thalia; Patino, Fausto; Garcia, Patricia J.; Insua, Jorge; Mendez-Carniado, Oscar; Boulding, Carew; Nelson-Nunez, Jami; Velasco Guachalla, V.

    We provide policy lessons for governments across Latin America by drawing on an original dataset of daily national and subnational non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) during the COVID-19 pandemic for eight Latin American countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, and Peru. Our analysis offers lessons for health system decision-making at various levels of government and highlights the impact of subnational policy implementation for responding to health crises. However, subnational responses cannot replace coordinated national policy; governments should emphasize the vertical integration of evidence-based policy from national to local levels while tailoring local policies to local conditions as they evolve. Horizontal policy integration across sectors and jurisdictions will also improve coordination at each level of government. The Latin American experiences with policy and politics during the COVID-19 pandemic project glocal health policy recommendations that connect global considerations with local needs.
