The macro story of Asia-Pacific’s healthcare is clear: a ‘silver tsunami’ of an aging population, the double whammy of infectious and non-communicable disease burdens combined with launches of some of the world’s most ambitious universal health coverage (UHC) schemes is driving double-digit growth in the industry. Yet, private sector incumbents continue to experience challenges of profitability, scaling, and capital.
How can we reconcile these seeming contradictions? How do we disrupt the status quo and help unlock new value in the sector? Can non-traditional players support and accelerate the growth of healthcare in Asia-Pacific?’
We explore the above questions and specifically dive into how players outside of the healthcare sector, financial services and banks, can help create an ecosystem to enable disruption in healthcare.
