Breaking the health-poverty trap

Covid-19 has laid bare the growing chasm between there latively few who can access and afford high quality healthcare and the many who cannot. Before the pandemic, hundreds of millions were forced to choose between health and wealth, with individuals and families driven into financial ruin due to the cost of care or treatment. Now tens of millions more have been faced with this impossible choice, many of them from traditionally underserved and marginalized communities.

Never has the need for equitable and affordable access to high quality care been more critical. And never have the opportunities been greater for the financial services sector and Fintech for Health.
