How can client wealth profile data add value to health program interventions?

A conversation on promoting equity in service-use.

On Tuesday, June 16 at 8:30am Eastern Daylight Time, the USCF Global Health Group, HANSHEP and the Center for Health Market Innovations will be hosting the first in a series of webinars on topics that can support private sector healthcare interventions and programs, including social franchises, better measure, evaluate, and improve performance.

This first webinar will focus on the practical ways in which client wealth profile data can be used to inform program management and strategy decisions. Program managers or advisers with practical perspectives on the uses of equity data will present case studies of ‘equity data in action’. The case studies will be followed by a brief period for questions and answers. 

Get involved before the webinar by signing up for the Health Systems Hub and joining the Webinar Series group for more information on upcoming webinars.
