A brief look at Bupa’s history
Founded in 1947, the British United Provident Association or as we know it today as Bupa, was a beacon of hope for generations at the time. The company’s goal was “to prevent, relieve, and cure sickness and ill health of every kind”. Over the years, the company has focused on providing healthcare to help people live longer, healthier and more peaceful lives. For reference, in 1948, the company had around 38,000 clients and an 80% share of the private health insurance market in the UK.
Today, the company is an international healthcare company that provides high-quality, affordable health services to more than 38 million clients worldwide. Clients have access to an extensive network of medical providers, independent second medical opinions, and many other health and well-being benefits. Along with individuals and families, the company also supports the needs of businesses and their employees.
Together with their 85,000 dedicated employees, the company is driven by their long-term purpose of making a positive difference to people globally and its ambition to be the world’s most customer-centric healthcare company.
“In a fast-changing world, our strategy harnesses the power of our enduring purpose to create a healthier and more sustainable future. We’re committed to innovating and developing technologies that serve people and society.” - Iñaki Ereño, Bupa Group CEO
