The Latin gentile adjectives that belong to Hispania are Hispanus, Hispanicus, and Hispaniensis. A Hispanus is someone who is a native of Hispania with no foreign parents, while children born in Hispania of Roman parents were Hispanienses. Hispaniensis means 'connected in some way to Hispania', as in "Exercitus Hispaniensis" ('the Spanish army') or "mercatores Hispanienses" ('Spanish merchants'). Hispanicus implies 'of' or 'belonging to' Hispania or the Hispanus or of their fashion as in "gladius Hispanicus". [32] The gentile adjectives were not ethnolinguistic but derived primarily on a geographic basis, from the toponym Hispania as the people of Hispania spoke different languages, although Titus Livius ( Livy) said they could all understand each other, not making clear if they spoke dialects of the same language or were polyglots.

The major ethnic group of the Western Sahara are the Sahrawis, a nomadic or Bedouin group speaking Arabic. There was also Spanish influence in the former Spanish East Indies, including the Philippines, Marianas, and other nations. However, Spanish is not a predominant language in these regions and, as a result, their inhabitants are not usually considered Hispanic.This blog summarises an initiative taken by more than 300 health economists and experts in support of the creation of an independent health technology assessment agency in Spain. Both Hispanic and Latino are widely used in American English for Spanish-speaking people and their descendants in the United States. While Hispanic refers to Spanish speakers overall, Latino refers specifically to people of Latin American descent. Hispanic can also be used for the people and culture of Spain as well as Latin America. [43] While originally the term Hispanic referred primarily to the Hispanos of New Mexico within the United States, [44] today, organizations in the country use the term as a broad catchall to refer to persons with a historical and cultural relationship with Spain regardless of race and ethnicity. [5] [6] The United States Census Bureau uses Hispanic or Latino to refer to a person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race [45] and states that Hispanics or Latinos can be of any race, any ancestry, any ethnicity. [46] Latinx emerged in the early 2000s and has since spread as a gender-neutral or nonbinary way to refer to a person of Latin American descent. The character xhas been used to replace the gendered inflections -o and -a . The spelling Latinx has been embraced by groups that wish to include members whose gender identities are nonbinary.

First recorded in English in the late 1500s, Hispanic derives from the Latin hispānicus, adjective of Hispānia, meaning and source of the name Spain. Historically in English, Hispanic referred to Spain and its people in the Iberian peninsula. By at least the early 1900s, there is some record of use of Hispanic to refer to lands and people colonized by the Spanish in the Americas—the so-called “New World.” How activists got Hispanic onto the US census

The decentralization of Spain has made possible the creation of seven regional Health Technology Assessment (HTA) agencies in the last 40 years. Generally, these agencies evaluate new technologies, mostly devices, medical procedures and health projects, and share their findings among themselves as well as among other EU agencies, in addition to publishing some of their reports. These assessment reports are useful for managing some new pharmaceutical products and technologies in general, and to influence medical protocols, formulary inclusion and prescription guidelines. However, P&R decisions are currently being adopted in the absence of these reports, which occur later in the process when health care is managed by regional health authorities.Nevertheless, this aspiration is rather abstract and needs to be more specific. Importing institutions from one country to another is not straightforward. They do not always travel well across jurisdictions, and historical and organizational factors can heavily condition the final desired result. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has done a good job in integrating separate elements of information needed for P&R decisions, as well as appraising many health technologies and clinical processes to improve health care management. However, in a decentralized health care system with many bodies managing drugs, this new institute does not only need to be ‘copied and pasted’ but also integrated into a complex regulatory regionalized system. The risk of ending up with multiple regional NICEs is high in a country where several regions are proud of having a particular version of any national body, no matter what the costs are for duplicating central government institutions to a regional level (in fact, this also seems to be applicable to the UK too, where, a few years after the creation of NICE, the Scottish Medicines Consortium, a kind of ‘MacNICE’ as someone funnily named it, started to work with the purpose of “providing a single point of advice, reducing duplication of work and differences in availability of medicines across NHS Scotland” [ 6], but overlapping some NICE activities).

Last but not least, the Advisory Committee for Funding Drugs of the National Health System, a body created after updating the 2006 Drugs Act [ 3], started to develop its activities 2 years ago. The mandate for this committee is to advise on how economic evaluation can be applied to the P&R of drugs adopted by the Ministry of Health, as well as to advise on new policies to increase the sustainability and efficiency of the public reimbursement of drugs. The term Latino can be used by people who come from Latin American countries, and this list is longer and more inclusive. For example, it includes more countries in the Caribbean, for example.While Hispanic was at one time overwhelmingly favored in the late 20th century, Latino, when applicable, is growing more popular with younger generations seeking to stay rooted in their cultural identity.

But Hispanic and Latino are properly used for different purposes, and describe qualities of two different populations that sometimes overlap and sometimes don’t.
