Inaugural Plenary : 1000 1135 hrs
 

Health Insurance is now the fastest growing insurance segment in the general insurance industry. While Health Insurance has been increasingly gaining acceptability as a tool to finance healthcare expenditures in India , it still has a long way to go in order to provide comprehensive healthcare financing support, with only about 15% of the country's population having any form of Health Insurance. Ensuring Health Insurance access to all the income groups and all the geographical areas would be the real test of success for Health Insurance in India . This Inaugural Plenary will set the tone for the entire Summit and will try to explore how the Indian Health Insurance industry is poised to develop in the direction of facilitating extensive Health Insurance access in the near future.

At the CII's first “Health Insurance Summit 2007”, CII and IRDA announced the formation of four Working groups to address the challenges faced by the Health Insurance sector. The terms of reference of each of the groups were defined and in addition to the representation of various industry stakeholders in these groups, IRDA also nominated its officials in each of the groups. These groups held meetings across India and views of all the group members were sought. Based on these discussions, the Working groups arrived at their recommendations to build a more robust Health Insurance sector. This plenary will focus on understanding the recommendations of these four Working Groups, the actions taken so far, and will chart a roadmap for moving their initiatives to the next level, and define future action in terms of priorities, issues & perspectives. The first panel will focus on understanding the recommendations and charting the roadmap for future action in the area of communication and consumer awareness.
