Co-Creating the Transformation of Health Care
The Covid-19 pandemic has clearly demonstrated a need to transform both the organisation and delivery of health care on a global level. Of course, it also revealed the ingenuity and resilience of health care workers and business leaders, who met 2020’s global health care challenges head-on with new, sustainable solutions.
From improving organisation efficiency and fast-tracking new digital treatment avenues to increasing accessibility to care worldwide, there are countless initiatives that need to be addressed if we are to build solid foundation for the future. Of course, to accomplish such sweeping changes on a global scale will require collaboration and the free exchange of ideas.
