Global Health and Healthcare Strategic Outlook: Shaping the Future of Health and Healthcare

The pandemic, geopolitical conflicts, the climate and energy crisis have all detrimentally impacted health and healthcare globally. In the face of a challenging past few years, the world went off track on health related Sustainable Development Goals. Unprecedented disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, followed by social, economic, geopolitical and environmental challenges, continue to place complex and interconnected threats on population health, especially impacting vulnerable populations, and increased strains on healthcare systems, particularly healthcare workers and supply of essential health products. It is important to ensure stakeholders, industries, countries, and sectors strive to achieve common health and healthcare goals and work collaboratively to do so. This strategic outlook lays out a vision for health and healthcare in 2035, formed of four main strategic pillars with equity as the foundational goal. For each of the strategic pillars, time horizons to demonstrate near-, medium- and long-term impact are identified.
