7:00 am Oliver Wyman Health and Life Sciences Breakfast

Vulnerable Populations and the Great Health Divide

A discussion of a critical issue in global healthcare: the disadvantages that vulnerable populations face in accessing health information. In an age when information equals empowerment, too often our most vulnerable citizens - the elderly, poor, and those with mental health challenges - lack access to crucial health information. But whilst the challenge is often recognized, our research shows that little is being done about it. And so the health gap grows.
