Urbanisation, ageing, climate change, a new pandemic... How we can prepare our health systems if we don't know what's going to hit them next? The answer lies within all of us: we must become more resilient.
When buying medication, we don't usually ask ourselves, "Is this going to be effective?" or "Is it safe?" Yet all over the world, people worry about the quality of health products and care they get. And rightly so. Follow our researchers as they fight this injustice, and discover "the canary in the coal mine" of our health care system.
Racism, conflict, lack of funding, transportation issues, lifestyle or stigma: there are a lot of factors that can keep people from getting the care and medication they need. In this episode, we explore those hurdles all over the world, taking you from Belgium to Zambia.
If we imagine a health system as a box, then what would it contain? And what happens if it gets shaken – by a conflict, a pandemic or even something as seemingly unrelated as structural traffic jams? Join us, as we travel from the Syrian war zone to a remote Indian community fighting addiction... with frisbees.
