Oliver Wyman - Health and Life Science - Associate - Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Riyadh

Associate - Health Life Science Practice
Health Life Science Practice
Healthcare companies face enormous challenges during this era of reform. The
future marketplace will require new paradigms to realize the vision of
affordability and quality. Change will impact payers, providers, and
pharmaceutical companies alike and require unprecedented collaboration at the
intersections.
Recognizing the power of a systemic view, healthcare companies are turning to
Oliver Wyman. Our deep expertise across the healthcare landscape is centered
in integrated health management - a differentiated approach proven to drive
critical transformation. Our perspective in life sciences is focused on
transformational changes that pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies need
to make in a world where product innovation is more challenging and value is
measured in patient outcomes.
Oliver Wyman's Middle East HLS practice offers the full breadth of services
across the health care continuum. We have a deep understanding of the health
sector transformation journey that many GCC countries are currently engaged
in, and we are playing a prominent role in helping shaping the strategic
direction and planning transformation roadmap.
Our clients comprise government entities (e.g. ministries of health), health
payers and providers, financial investors, and life sciences companies. We
excel in tangible impact of our advice and recommendations - most of our
clients are repeat clients. We leverage the global Oliver Wyman health
innovation center for unique insights into business model innovation, new
models of care and partnership opportunities. Our focus is on helping create
sustainable health ecosystems.
