| 9th Asia Conference on Healthcare and Health Insurance |
With the ageing population and governments trying to get individuals to be more responsible for their healthcare, there is great potential for the private medical services and schemes. And both users of expensive innovative health services and healthcare providers look to insurers for partnership. Will insurers be able to rise to the challenge?
Will they be able to tread the minefields in health insurance with dignity and improved underwriting results despite the runaway medical inflation making cutting edge technology available to all? Will insurers be ready to take on the role of making it affordable to all? Is that too big a risk? Where are the markers? What should the parameters be? And can reinsurers play a bigger role in healthcare to make product coverage more extensive?
There is a need for collective effort among health professionals, government officials, healthcare providers, and insurers and reinsurers, brokers and Third Party Administrators to come together to forge the way ahead even if it means making health insurance compulsory or more selective.
As demand for health insurance is hot and there are too many exclusions involved while fraudsters are rising, the insurance industry needs to come together to lick this problem to boost the image of insurance altogether.
Opportunities are plenty for insurers and providers in the healthcare sector with huge potential for growth and profitability. Can the Governments do more to ensure that healthcare schemes are sensible and accessible to all?
This 9th Healthcare conference organized by Asia Insurance Review has the theme: “Wealth in Health for Insurers” sub-text: Adding Value through Efficient Delivery of Cost-Effective Quality Healthcare for the long term.
The two-day conference will tackle hot topics ranging from providing effective and quality healthcare for the masses to the more sophisticated high net worth segments and the silver generation as well as healthcare funding, regulatory requirements, improving health procedures and services and how to balance healthcare financing with underwriting, cost control and fraud.
The conference will also provide an overview of the world-class health systems, trends and developments in Asia and the world as well as look at the strategies in implementing healthcare programmes with partners and TPAs, innovative products, technology in the medical field and creative distribution channels for healthcare.
