In May, FWD introduced its new health business unit, FWD HealthyMe, to foster partnerships with healthcare providers and industry leaders, aiming to become a proactive health partner in Asia. The initiative complements FWD’s life insurance, critical illness, and medical offerings.
“By working with Roche, we aim to accelerate health insurance innovation in Asia as part of our vision of changing the way people feel about insurance. Roche is a recognised leader in diagnostics, having delivered 29 billion tests last year alone globally, and we’re delighted to partner with them.” – Sarah Salvilla, Group Chief Health Officer, FWD Group.

Earlier diagnoses lead to better health outcomes and can influence behavior and lifestyle changes that keep people healthy and out of hospitals.” – Lance Little, Managing Director, Roche Diagnostics Asia Pacific.
