Job Description
OVERVIEW OF ALLIED WORLD HEALTHCARE AND OUR WORK
Allied World Healthcare (AWH) is a social enterprise working to bring universal basic healthcare services to users in low-access, developing regions through an innovative service model and technology platform. Our approach focusses on using existing community facilities (such as shops, churches, schools etc) and people to use a key technology platform to help deliver basic healthcare services to their fellow citizens. This allows core health services to be distributed further into communities to where traditional healthcare services don’t reach (such as Barangay Health Centres), giving basic support locally but also providing a patient navigation service to help find local clinics, understand financing options (PhilHealth, PCSO etc) and generally connect communities with regional and national healthcare facilities.
OVERVIEW OF THE ROLE
As part of AWH’s solution and service approach, they are working with a number of insurers to design and price bespoke group and individual insurance policies for lower- and middle-income citizens. This involves working with a broad range of partners to create an integrated solution (e.g. insurance prices based on AWH’s low cost health service model, with reduced price pharmaceutical treatments, and community-driven distribution and diagnostic plans – at lower costs).
This role therefore spans the design and pricing of new products, integrating and supporting a wide range of partners. Once products are priced, the focus will shift to distribution, marketing, premium collection and general oversight and management of the insurance function as part of AWH’s broader healthcare service delivery model.
This is a highly strategic and innovative role, creating brand new products with a number of influential and world-leading partners from both public, private and multilateral sector.
