Business For Health

Business For Health

Rachel and Medical Matrix Consulting joined Business for Health in 2022 as an Associate Partner.

Business for Health is a business-led coalition supporting long term sustainable innovation and investment in preventative health and care, working jointly with finance sector, commercial health sector and government on developing a ‘Business Framework for Health’ and an index, which will help measure business’ positive and negative contributions to health, and ultimately lead to improving population health.

Business for Health aims to bring Health into ESG considerations (‘ESHG’), to enhance health and economic resilience for a better future.

The Index was launched in November 2022 in collaboration with the CBI and supported by Professor Chris Whitty, Chief Medical Officer for England, the NHS and government.

 

COVID-19 has highlighted that population health is a critical issue for business. There are opportunities to make our nation healthier and more resilient and business has an important role in this. So, I warmly welcome this new initiative by the CBI and Business for Health.

Dr Rachel is a great “critical friend” as part of a board looking to stretch and challenge itself. Her balance of expertise in delivering front line healthcare and strategic work - such as convincing pension funds to move money away from negatively health impacting industries - is impressive. Dr Rachel is my go to person on health, and it’s a pleasure to work with her on
many boards and projects.
