Marie Stopes Bangladesh: Understanding the private health insurance market in Bangladesh Feasibility Study

Increasing high healthcare expenses, which has been exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic, means that many Bangladeshi citizens are recognizing the increasing need for private health insurance support. In addition, a McKinsey report on private health insurance in Asia notes that currently most insurer options in Asia are focused on morbidity rates rather than well-being, and as a rule do not treat health insurance as part of the core business. The authors assert “most importantly operating models shifts will be necessary. Insurers that can act decisively and make bold changes will likely be the only ones to thrive and survive in the next normal
