• Health equity is achieved by eliminating disparities in health and its determinants—by granting everyone the opportunity to "attain his or her full health potential". Health inequities are reflected in outcomes – including length of life, quality of life, rates of disease, severity of disease, access to treatment, and disability and death. Health inequity exists between and within countries.
• BCG's Health Equity work spans the entire healthcare ecosystem (public and private payers and providers, Aid agencies and NGOs, Foundations, Med Tech and BioPharma companies), in both Lower- and Middle-income markets and developed markets.
• We strongly believe that health equity is not only a necessity and moral imperative, but also a unique opportunity to unlock commercial advantage. As an example, we partnered with a leading global BioPharma company to create a global non-profit unit with the aim to provide access to 30 essential medicines in 40 lower- and middle-Income countries.
