In 2016, Starbird Consulting designed an urban primary healthcare clinic business model for Mozambique, including:

  • Clinic design

  • Rollout plan

  • Financial projections

  • HR considerations and profiles

  • Prepaid health plan design / considerations

  • Customer survey results and analysis

  • Obstacles and risks

  • Business design reflecting Intelligence gathered from local patients, healthcare providers, suppliers, government officials and others

This feasibility study was sponsored by Oxford Policy Management, a UK-based organization committed to helping low- and middle-income countries achieve growth and reduce poverty and disadvantage through public policy reform.

Greg Starbird was the lead, with substantial input from:

  • Denis Garand (Canadian actuary providing expert input into household survey results and microinsurance / prepaid health plan component);

  • Sergio Chicumbe (Mozambican medical doctor providing expert input into clinical, regulatory, and medico-social dynamics);

  • Gabriel Machado (Mozambican lead of a UK-govt-funded portfolio of business development / employment initiatives)

OPM was pleased with what we delivered. And to our knowledge, this is the first time such an intervention has been proposed and designed for Mozambique.
