Context piece
- The commentary describes health as an irreplaceable form of wealth.
- It links health to productivity, creativity, education, employment, innovation, family life and demographics.
- It argues that many causes and effects of health lie outside the healthcare system.
Health is the only wealth that cannot be borrowed, acquired, inherited or bought back once it is lost.
Its influence extends well beyond hospitals and clinics. Health affects productivity, creativity, educational results and people’s readiness to work. It also shapes innovation, family life and demographic trends.
Most factors that determine health, as well as many consequences of good or poor health, develop outside the healthcare system. A healthy and active population provides an important signal for investment, while an effective healthcare system also contributes to that environment.
