The Opportunity
The political and economic crisis that began in 2019 and continues to affect Lebanon has had a profound impact on the nation's healthcare sector. Reimbursement bodies have faced significant challenges, including funding shortages, currency devaluation, and a growing demand for services. These issues have resulted in difficulties covering medical bills, as well as delays or reductions in healthcare reimbursements, leaving many citizens unable to access life-saving treatments due to affordability concerns.
This project offers a unique opportunity to help bridge gaps between the private and public sectors, ultimately improving patient access to treatment and healthcare outcomes.
As a Market Access and Health Policy Intern, you will conduct a comprehensive assessment of current market trends, particularly in light of ongoing changes and reforms within the healthcare system. You will identify challenges and opportunities, research successful international models, and develop evidence-based strategies and policies aimed at optimizing patient access to life-saving treatments and addressing reimbursement and affordability issues.
The project objectives of this internship will be:
Integration Framework: Develop a framework for integrating private insurance policies with public healthcare services.
Policy Management: Establish guidelines and protocols for managing insurance policies to ensure seamless coverage and minimize administrative burdens.
Stakeholder Collaboration: Foster collaboration between private insurers, public health agencies, and healthcare providers.
Patient-Centric Approach: Focus on improving patient outcomes and satisfaction by ensuring access to necessary treatments without financial or procedural hurdles.
Throughout the internship, you will collaborate with key stakeholders in the healthcare system—including public health agencies, private insurance companies, and patient advocacy groups—while gaining valuable hands-on experience in the Lebanese healthcare market. Most importantly, you will witness firsthand the real-world impact of healthcare policy on shaping outcomes.
