The benefits of investing in better health: Insights from our new study

“I always thought I’d be a medical doctor,” says Jaana Remes, a Finnish economist and partner who leads research at the McKinsey Global Institute. Her mother was a pediatrician, and Jaana studied biology and always assumed she’d follow in her mom’s footsteps—until she fell in love with economics as a high-school student in New Mexico. Thirty years later, with the launch of MGI’s first research focused on healthcare, she laughs, “I’ve returned to the topic!”
