Healthcare facilities, hospitals, small cities in enclosed spaces; people working, people recovering; babies being born, people dying. Is it really possible to build a place that supports all these different activities? Mai-Britt Beldam explores.
Can healthcare heal our communities and the planet?
The delivery of care in healthcare facilities results in an ever-increasing environmental footprint, which contributes to damaging the health of the community it seeks to serve. This keynote address examines this contradictory connection between healthcare and environmental health, and explores what can be done to realign the relationship in a positive direction.
Innovation, health and social change
A common theme in science fiction is a world in which extraordinary technological advances have advantaged a few, while political instability, incompetence or greed have created a dystopian existence for the majority. This presentation asks: are health systems, in perception or reality, beginning to create such situations?
