Global Actuarial Co-Lab

Fernando De la Torre, a Mexican actuary, shares his vision of how actuaries can help close global health gaps. He proposes creating a "Global Actuarial Co-Lab" to foster collaboration and adapt existing solutions rather than copying models, considering each country’s unique context. He highlights examples like community health insurance in Rwanda and microhealth insurance in India, which inspire addressing health disparities worldwide. The key is to build bridges, not just export ideas, by working alongside governments and communities to develop innovative and responsible solutions. The true power of actuaries lies in using their expertise to connect stakeholders and create social impact, promoting innovation that respects local realities and encourages international collaboration.
