What’s the link between healthcare and geopolitics? The answer is easy – but complex: demographics. A nation state’s power builds on its human resources. But for humans to be a “resource”, to contribute to the development of the society, of the nation state they are part of and ultimately, to grow themselves into better persons, they first need to be healthy.
This is why, at AC+, we are developing a close monitoring and analysis system that will allow us understand the way health and healthcare systems evolve around the world. To this goal we will look to public healthcare policies AND private initiatives aiming to improve humans’ health.
Making sense of what kind of challenges are faced by our healthcare systems, what improvements are considered by pharma related industries, while also keeping a close eye on medical R&D initiatives, technological progress that help the human kind live better lives will allow us to better understand what “development” means and where real dependencies stand for the future of our societies.
Geopolitics is about power. Power stands in the ability of building a better society for the people. By the people.
