Ep25: Addressing Unmet Medical Needs and Driving Change: Roche's Approach to Data-Driven Healthcare

Transforming health care systems is difficult, and yet that is the goal we are trying to achieve when we are leveraging the technologies of the future to address current health care challenges. And if you're a global multinational, the challenges can be even more complicated. Your day to day can be a mix of conflicting priorities, such as in dealing with the needs of today's business while also keeping an eye on the future, a future which includes health system transformations, personalized health, and health equity.

In this episode I speak with Ahmed Elhusseiny, the area head for Roche Pharma in Asia Pacific at their offices in Singapore to discuss how a global multinational can drive change.

During this podcast Ahmed and I discuss:

• The importance of being mission-oriented to address systemic health challenges
• How Roche’s approach to data-driven healthcare starts with understanding unmet customer needs
• Examples of Roche’s effectiveness in Public-Private Partnerships
• The new Economist Whitepaper supported by Roche highlighting APAC’s un-met needs in Breast Cancer
