The DayOne Conference brought together a unique mix of speakers, healthcare innovators, patients and startups to discuss and shape the future of health.
Health insurance schemes are spreading in lowand middle-income countries. However, they often fail to achieve scale as they lack the organisational, human and technological resources and capacities.

Every year, more than 150 million people face healthcare expenditures that are so high in relation to available income that they have a tragic effect on a household's financial well-being. In the context of the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda, important emphasis is placed on achieving Universal Health Coverage. In particular, many lowand middle-income countries are working to implement health insurance schemes that offer greater financial protection for their populations.
