The Value of Data for Health
Big Data has changed the way we manage, analyse and leverage data in any industry. For the first time in history, we have the opportunity in developing countries - due to digital technology - to collect and analyse large amounts of health data. How can we assure the value created with health data flows back to society, to strengthen the health system for the good of all?

Fireside chat: Risk Pools as the Fundament of Sustainable Systems – Opportunities, Challenges and Insights from Behavioural Economics
Achieving sustainable UHC is a matter of political commitment to prioritise health and to develop inclusive and sustainable health financing systems catalysed by the opportunities of mobile technology and innovations. Many embrace some form of health insurance to achieve sustainable UHC, to pool risks, foster prepayment, stimulate investments and improve quality. This session will discuss different approaches to and challenges of risk pooling, prepayment, co-payment and redistribution, and assess their feasibility for low- and middle-income countries. Special attention will also be paid to insights from Behavioural Economics.
