Making Healthcare Coverage Accessible for Every Bangladeshi
Only 1% of Bangladesh's population has health insurance coverage. Your mission: design innovative digital platforms that make health insurance accessible, affordable, and transparent for all economic segments — transforming healthcare from a privilege into a fundamental right.
Transform health insurance from an exclusive financial product into an inclusive social protection mechanism
How can we leverage technology and innovative business models to create health insurance platforms that are genuinely affordable, transparent, and accessible to Bangladesh's diverse population — from garment workers and farmers to small business owners and middle-class families?
We extend our deepest gratitude to **Prime Bank** for their partnership as the Theme Partner. Their commitment to financial inclusion and innovation in the banking sector is crucial for driving forward accessible and equitable health insurance solutions in Bangladesh.

Understanding the magnitude of the challenge we're solving
The strategic importance of solving health insurance accessibility
Health insurance protects families from catastrophic financial shocks. Medical emergencies are a leading cause of household debt and poverty in Bangladesh.
Insured workers seek preventive care earlier, reducing absenteeism and improving long-term productivity across industries.
Insurance coverage incentivizes early detection and prevention, reducing the burden of late-stage disease treatment on the healthcare system.
Accessible insurance democratizes healthcare access, ensuring quality treatment isn't determined by economic status.
Insurance platforms generate valuable health data that can inform public health policy and resource allocation.
Affordable insurance is a critical stepping stone toward Bangladesh's commitment to achieving universal health coverage by 2032.
