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.
BCG has a heritage and a commitment to Social Impact working at the intersection of private, public and social sectors. You can find more about BCG's own sustainability ambition in BCG's latest sustainability report From Bold Ideas to Exponential Impact (2023).
