CAN TECH SOLVE GLOBAL HEALTH INEQUALITY? I Future Investment Initiative 6th Edition
NOW: Vast health disparities still plague the world. The World Health Organization has identified that the conditions in which people are born, as well as where they grow, live, work, and age, can influence a significant percentage of health outcomes. More advanced economies tend to produce medicines and biotechnological advancements at a faster pace – and communities in those economies tend to have quicker access to those new innovations.
NEXT: How can investors have a role in prioritizing emerging and frontier economies when funding medical and biotechnological advancements? In what ways can countries have opportunities to entice global investors and innovators into advancing those developments through new partnerships? Is it possible to develop medical technology without creating health disparities while still getting a return on investment?
