This book brings together professionals who have dedicated their careers to the health system. It presents a canvas to paint their prediction of the future of healthcare. This third book complements the previous two books, Healthcare Reform, Quality, and Safety: Perspectives, Participants, Partnerships, and Prospects in 30 Countries, and Health Systems Improvement Across the Globe: Success Stories from 60 Countries, by covering from around the globe, what the future might hold for healthcare systems. Rather than focusing on western nations, like other healthcare literature, this book provides a snapshot, along with 57 case studies, of future predictions of health systems globally.
