Seizing the momentum to build resilience for a future of sustainable inclusive growth
A multifaceted approach is needed to tackle rising demand, healthcare-supply constraints, and emergency preparedness while ensuring equitable access to care. Leaders must prioritize preventative and holistic healthcare to promote longer high-quality life—an 18-year gap in average life expectancy separates populations in low- and high-income countries. Healthcare capacity and productivity must be increased to bridge the supply gap. The burden of healthcare costs should be reduced by sufficient investment in health education and digital technology.
