Overview

At ASHK, we are keen on improving members’ actuarial skills and knowledge about emerging risks.  Given the aging society and many social-economic uncertainties, mental health is becoming a more prevalent issue for affected individuals, families, employers, medical providers, and insurers.  At the same time, there has been much progress in our understanding of mental conditions and the medical treatment of difficult symptoms.  The medical profession is progressing from hospital-based treatment to a broad range of tools such as medication outside hospital settings.  How can insurance address mental health?  What is the scope of risks that can be properly identified, assessed, and priced for insurance coverage?


The ASHK Health Committee is delighted to invite Dr. Karneen Tam and Dr. Dipali Jawalkar from RGA Reinsurance Company to share with us the latest insights into mental health.  The presentation will cover the following three aspects:  

  • Overview of psychiatric conditions in Asia Pacific: classification, diagnoses, disease burden and disease management challenges
  • Insurance product trend and latest news in Asia and around the world
  • Risk assessment and product design considerations for mental health
