Building value through partnerships
There is a massive opportunity for for-profit providers to work with many partners. In particular, that includes the public sector, given that it accounts for around 85% of all health care in EMEA. And often for-profit can deliver efficient, lower cost solutions. Unfortunately, for-profit is regarded with much distrust by many stakeholders. How do you build trust? How do you create a genuine win/win? And how do navigate the political map?
A series of case studies that outline what works and what doesn’t, lessons learned and the value and cost savings that result.

This time it’s Personal: Rethinking patient pathways
One-size-fits-all health care delivery is stuck in the past.

This session evaluates early data from such endeavours and looks at how operators and health systems can scale-up efforts.
