A Comparison of International Health Care Systems
27 December 2016
Healthcare stories dominate headlines around the world. Recently there has been a focus on increased demand caused by growing and ageing populations, the introduction of new technologies and the need to contain spread of conditions such as obesity and diabetes.
Although there will always be local differences, we think the paper reveals a significant degree of similarity between the challenges facing England, the U.S. and Germany and the approaches that can be taken to address them.
We hope the paper will facilitate the transfer of learning between these nations and to others areas facing similar challenges with their healtcare systems.
