Future of Healthcare Week Asia 2022 | Economist Impact events | 14 November 2022 | One Farrer Hotel, 1 Farrer Park Station Rd, Singapore 217562

Has never been more important to the global economy than during the past two years. Now healthcare systems will need to start tackling a mounting backlog of non-covid care. But despite rising demands and costs, global healthcare spending growth in 2022 will slow to 4.1% as governments start to assess the economic damage wreaked by the pandemic. Leaders are faced with new challenges to mitigate vulnerabilities, manage sustainability and improve the value of health ecosystems to reach broader economic and development aims in line with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3, “Good Health and Well-being”. Healthcare consumers and patients are increasingly custodians of their own data and expect to access healthcare on demand—anywhere and anytime. The ratio of doctors per thousand patients in Asia is less than the OECD average, and the world is short 9m nurses according to World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates. Given their constraints, how can forward-leaning healthcare organisations pursue more resilient, nimble and sustainable operations to ensure continuity of care?
