International Address: The politics of universal health coverage: A question of willpower?
Political will is hugely significant in moving towards a publicly-financed universal healthcare system is highly political. In this session, you’ll hear examples of how UHC has been achieved in some countries and why it has been floundering in others. How does healthcare become a political priority?

Morning Keynote Address: The case for Place-Based Health and Care: Re-engineering health and care systems to secure better outcomes and a sustainable future
There is widespread recognition of the wider determinants of health, where only 20 per cent of health outcomes result from clinical treatment and the remaining 80 per cent determined by wider factors such as lifestyle choices, the physical environment and family and social networks. Reimagining health as place-based opens out the definition of health from clinical care to one that encompasses wider determinants. Health spending must shift away from treatment and towards prevention. How we can re-engineer the health and care system to secure better outcomes and become sustainable for the future?

Investing in health is one thing, but doing so sustainably is another. A significant share of healthcare spending in OECD countries is at best ineffectual and at worst wasteful. Tackling the burden of wasteful spending in health is imperative. There are solutions but what are they?
