"Each environment has its unique set of challenges and opportunities, nationally, regionally, and globally. Across borders, one of the major obstacles, and at the same time a big opportunity, is that of disparities in healthcare. Disparities in healthcare are propagated where there is a lack of funding innovation into healthcare. Wealthy regions of the world have developed their healthcare environments significantly more than poorer regions; and even within some regions – wealthy or not – funding for healthcare infrastructure, let alone innovation, is disproportionally distributed and/or mismanaged. This has become the status quo for how our healthcare environments have developed, but this is now unsustainable in today’s globalised world, where an event in one part of the world can shut down all systems across the globe."
