Better health through less healthcare; a systemic approach

For today’s healthcare challenges, we acknowledge that a systemic approach is crucial, but not self-evident.

Heleen shared the outcomes of her own deep dive into a systemic analysis of our healthcare system, in particular the conflicting values between curative and preventative healthcare. This systems table has come up with both practical and promising ideas for transition pathways towards a ‘healthier’ society and healthcare system.
