CRO Forum | Report | December 2019
This position paper of the Emerging Risk Initiative of the Chief Risk Officer Forum (CRO) Forum aims at providing an overview of upcoming medical advances and the aspects that insurers need to consider in order to be prepared. The CRO Forum is a group of professional risk managers from the insurance industry, including Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty experts.

One of the rewards of societal progress is medical advancement and its ability to save and improve lives. The upcoming medical advances are likely to bring significant advantages for individuals, insurance and society as a whole. Still, these advances will not come without challenges.
