Farid Fezoua, IFC's Global Director of Health and Education, had a truly insightful conversation with Jeff Gui, Mindray General Manager, on the impact of consistent innovation on this medtech giant's success.
During IFC’s Global Private Sector Health Conference, I was very pleased to have the opportunity to sit down with Jeff Gui, Mindray’s General Manager for the Middle East and Africa. We talked about Mindray’s growth into a global player and the innovation and acquisition strategy that helped drive this growth. Building resilient health systems and helping countries realize their universal health coverage goals requires strengthening all parts of the healthcare ecosystem. Medical equipment is a key component of ensuring people have the care they need when they need it most, and Mindray’s efforts are helping contribute to improving healthcare access and quality. I hope you enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed the conversation. #healthtech #medicaldevices #healthcare #health IFC - IFC - International Finance Corporation Mindray Mindray South Africa Mindray Middle East and Africa

Skeptics say implementing improvements in healthcare quality does not directly impact the bottom line. Others passionately disagree. With almost no documented evidence that provides clarity on the need for investments in quality, it is difficult to know. Join IFC's IQ-Healthcare team on May 3, 2023, 12:00 – 13:30 GMT, for a "Quality Investments Improve Financial Health? The Business Case for Quality" webinar where we will discuss: 1. How to capture financial returns on investment in quality? 2. How to measure enhanced compliance and financial outcomes? 3. How to prioritize quality improvement areas – based on risks or cost savings? Found out the most effective ways to demonstrate the business case to senior leaders and shareholders and why investments in healthcare quality are critical.
