UnitedHealth International is the international arm of UnitedHealth Group, one of the largest and most diverse health care company in the United States. UnitedHealth Group is headquartered in Minneapolis, Minn. UnitedHealth Group is uniquely focused on the health industry, as opposed to other insurers who manage a broad portfolio of insurance products. UHI brings UnitedHealth Group's wealth of experience, skill and tools to the international marketplace, which is seeing a dramatic increase in both health care costs and private markets to insure for those costs.

Our goal at UHI is to partner with select players in other countries and help them redefine health care in their own markets by creating customized business solutions that are based on local infrastructure, culture and needs and that blend local expertise with lessons learned generally in the U.S. health care industry and specifically in UHI's international projects. UHI does this with considerable expertise and experience, deploying a broad range of tools and techniques to improve efficiencies, increase profitability, and distinguish our partners in the challenging and ever changing health care marketplace.

Powerful forces for change — from advanced technologies and treatments to rising costs and shifting expectations — are transforming the future of health care everywhere. At the same time, every country, culture, and health care system confronts unique challenges. To navigate this environment successfully requires not only extensive experience and knowledge, but also the ability to adapt solutions to each market's needs.
