Agenda

For too long, healthcare systems in developing countries have not worked for most people. So how can we flip the switch?

Go to Agenda

We believe the digital revolution offers unprecedented opportunities to make healthcare more effective and inclusive. As such, our agenda integrates three key drivers for transformative innovation: behavior ; innovative finance and digital technology.

Innovative Finance

A lack of money in the health markets of developing countries means new ways of financing are needed. Mobile technology allows us to identify and directly reach the most vulnerable.

By providing transparency, accountability and direct access to end-users, digital technology can bring healthcare to new groups. Data can power reduced transaction costs at an unprecedented scale and pace.

Anticipating patient behavior and applying well-known techniques to help patients make better health decisions has yet to become a standard aspect of medical thinking.
