HBI 2023 Panel: Investing in Emerging Markets

Emerging markets present opportunities you wouldn't find in more established geographies. In a panel entitled ‘investing in emerging markets’ at HBI 2023 in London, panellists explored where the most potential for investment in emerging markets lies. The main takeaways were:

Amanat loses a CEO, and gains a platform

HBI catches up with Edward Booty, CEO at Singapore based health platform Reach52, to find out about growth during a pandemic, the importance of primary care, and digital health solutions.

Uptake of telemedicine is higher in women in emerging markets

African healthcare’s do it yourself plan

As delegates at the IFC’s conference in Cape Town, South Africa heard last month, there is a renewed appetite in Africa for self-sufficiency and a coordinated shift towards regionalisation.

Reconciling payor-provider tensions

Relationships between payors and providers can be notoriously tricky. As attendees at the recent IFC conference in Cape Town, South Africa heard, the difference is often over how value is defined - and as providers grow, the balance of power is shifting.
