BIMA Snapshot
We live in a world where billions of people do not have access to essential health solutions, and millions are still pushed into extreme poverty because of health expenses. We are working towards a future where everyone has access to affordable, high-quality healthcare.
How we bring our purpose to life:
We challenge the status quo in emerging markets. We do what others said couldn’t be done. In a decade, we have changed the way emerging market consumers experience health solutions by unlocking the power of mobile technology.
Serving the underserved:
Over a decade ago, we created the concept of micro-insurance which could be bought over the mobile, using pre-paid balance, where there was nothing before.
Experience:
We make sure customers want BIMA MILVIK to be part of their lives by focusing on the entire customer experience and we replicate this across countries and continents.
Integrated health and insurance:
We create integrated health and insurances solutions and partner with leading financial services companies to offer accessible and affordable solutions for the underserved consumers.
Unlocking mobile for health:
By using mobile to deliver heath solutions we were able to scale rapidly and serve millions of ‘unreachable’ customers.
