"We want to be a catalyst, we want to be one part of a group of individuals or organizations that says 'How are we going to make change, not just talk about change?'" MHI Global Coleader Dr. Pooja Kumar recently joined The Visible Voices Podcast for a conversation exploring a number of topics, including why, at the McKinsey Health Institute, we are focused on prioritizing both healthspan and lifespan to add years to life and life to years.

About us
This is a decisive moment in the history of human health. Over the last century, society has made incredible progress in extending life. But while life expectancy has increased, so has the amount of time spent in moderate to poor health. And significant inequities persist both across and within countries. It’s time to set a more ambitious aspiration. An aspiration for everyone on the planet to add years to their lives and life to their years. Humanity mobilized against COVID-19 at a speed and scale previously unseen. While far from perfect, our successes should inspire us to challenge what we think is possible. At its best, our response to COVID-19 demonstrates that when resources and motivation coalesce, scientific breakthroughs, and large-scale behavior change are possible in very short periods of time. The McKinsey Health Institute (MHI) is an enduring, non-profit-generating entity within the firm. It was founded on the conviction that, over the next decade, humanity could add as much as 45 billion extra years of higher-quality life (roughly six years per person on average—and substantially more in some countries and populations). MHI’s mission is to catalyze the actions needed across continents, sectors, and communities to realize this possibility.

Senior Partner, Life Sciences, McKinsey & Company. Advising top teams on innovation, sustainability, and organizational transformation
Earlier today, I had the honor of joining First Lady Dr. Jill Biden, Maria Shriver, Dr. Carolyn M. Mazure and Dr. Renee Wegrzyn on the HLTH USA main stage, as we discussed the business case for investing in women’s health, the impact of women’s health on workforce productivity, the progress we’ve made in the last year alone, and the excitement and energy behind closing the women’s health gap. I am so inspired by the pioneering work of my fellow speakers to champion better health for women and their communities, and am coming away energized by today's conversation. And huge congratulations to the recipients of the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) Sprint for Women's Health grants announced today – I look forward to seeing the impact investing in their innovations will have. For too long now, women's health has taken a back seat. Changing that requires action and investment from stakeholders across industries and sectors - everyone has a role to play and everyone will benefit from accelerating investment in women’s health research. Together, we can #CloseTheWomensHealthGap and pave the way for healthier futures and economies globally. Learn more about the economic impact of investing in women’s health in our McKinsey Health Institute report, in collaboration with the World Economic Forum: https://lnkd.in/dk48hTUn

On behalf of McKinsey Health Institute I sat down with Brankele Frank, my former colleague of McKinsey & Company from our Amsterdam office and #neurobiologist to have an open and honest conversation about her experience overcoming not only 1 but 2 serious burnouts! I was fortunate to endorse her Dutch book about burnout - well written, with serious content that touches the heart combined with lighthearted pieces that gave me a few belly laughs! Brankeles reflections are definitely worth reading - and sharing. Learn from what she would do differently and what she recommends you to be aware of! Thank you Brankele, it was SO nice to have this chat together with the amazing team of McKinsey & Company #alumnirelations Heather Gessino-Kraft and McKinsey Health Institute ‘s Kate Midden Danielle DiStefano Read the interview here: https://lnkd.in/ekuEiKj7

A global survey by the McKinsey Health Institute revealed that spiritual health matters to many, regardless of age, country, or religious beliefs - with a significant proportion of respondents ranking it from 'somewhat' to 'extremely' important. But what exactly is spiritual health, and how does it influence an employee's personal and professional life? In a new episode of the McKinsey Future of Asia Podcast, MHI leaders Jacqui Brassey, PhD, MA, MAfN 🎗️ (née Schouten), Kana Enomoto and Atsushi Sorita, MD, MPH join Debbi Cheong to discuss the role of spiritual health in the workplace, and how integrated initiatives can enhance employee engagement, improve retention, and foster a more resilient workforce: https://lnkd.in/eQQFszWk #FutureofAsia #SpiritualHealth #EmployeeHealth

"Despite living longer than men, women, on average, spend 25% more of their lives in poor health. Much of this disparity can be attributed to the way science and healthcare have, for much of history, treated women as though they are small men. They are not." Building on the McKinsey Health Institute’s report in collaboration with the World Economic Forum earlier this year, MHI's Lucy Perez and Megan Greenfield, Ph.D. explore the causes of, and actions needed to close the women's health gap in Harvard Advanced Leadership Initiative’s Social Impact Review.

Introducing the Coalition for Mental Health Investment. Our vision → within a generation, investment for mental health will match the scale of global need. In partnership with the African Venture Philanthropy Alliance (AVPA), Kokoro , McKinsey Health Institute, and Wellcome Trust, we’re working to bridge the mental health funding gap. #WorldMentalHealthDay

World Mental Health Day is a moment to reflect on the progress society is making around mental health, and the challenges that persist. Good mental health is achievable. Awareness about the importance of mental health is higher than ever. Proven treatments exist. The market is growing. Yet investment in mental health only remains a small slice of global health financing. Now is the time for change. We need to close the mental health financing gap, which would help nearly a billion people access the care they need. That is the mission of the Coalition for Mental Health Investment, which the McKinsey Health Institute cofounded alongside African Venture Philanthropy Alliance (AVPA), Clinton Global Initiative, Kokoro , and Wellcome Trust. Together, we will work to transform the lives of people around the world while showing how mental health can be an attractive, viable, and scalable investment opportunity for funders across the full range of public and private capital.

With a $200 billion annual mental health financing gap, there are meaningful opportunities for all parts of society — the public sector, philanthropies, and private investors — to invest in mental health. To help bridge the gap between the fast-paced scientific developments in mental health and the lack of investment, McKinsey Health Institute cofounded the Coalition for Mental Health Investment (CMHI) alongside African Venture Philanthropy Alliance (AVPA), Clinton Global Initiative, Kokoro , and Wellcome Trust.
