WHEN: Developing Sustainable Women’s Health Delivery and Insurance Models

WHEN works with government partners, the private sector, donors and DFIs to design and deploy sustainable business models for healthcare delivery in Latin America, Southern Africa, and Southeast Asia. The system will be supported with a strengthened insurance model that can support gold-standard care while mitigating catastrophic health expenditure for patients..

To address the gaps in funding, WHEN is in the process of designing an investable model, based on partnerships with national telecom companies, private banks, development finance agencies, philanthropists, micro-insurance platforms, local governments, and infrastructure partners to create a comprehensive insurance model that both increases access to care while ensuring model sustainability.
