Prioritizing health : prescription for prosperity / Jaana Remes...[Et al.]. — New York : McKinsey & Company, 2020

164 p.

Sumario: The COVID-19 shock illustrates that widespread health is essential for global prosperity. Early estimates suggest the pandemic and its repercussions could lead to a 3 to 8 percent drop in global GDP in 2020. Yet each year, poor health reduces global GDP by 15 percent. As the whole world reimagines public health and rebuilds its economy, we have a unique opportunity not merely to restore the past but to dramatically advance broad-based health and prosperity. In this report, we quantify the upside of focusing on health as an investment with economic and social benefits, not just a cost to manage. We analyze almost 200 countries over two decades to 2040 to identify the different challenges and opportunities facing each, and aggregate findings at regional, income archetype, and global levels to provide a synthesis. In this report, we focus on what it would take to improve the health of the world's population, and we calculate the benefits for individuals, societies, and economies. The product of a yearlong research effort across McKinsey & Company, this report is a collaboration between the McKinsey Global Institute (MGI) and McKinsey experts in healthcare, life science, and global public health. It builds on MGI's long history of research on economic growth and productivity as well as McKinsey's considerable expertise in health and its publications on topics including productivity in healthcare, digital, analytics, and technology trends, healthcare system reform, the wider determinants of health, and the COVID-19 pandemic. This report is intended to provide insight based on our research and currently available information and not to provide specific advice, medical or otherwise. — Sumario: Executive summary -- A catalyst for growth -- Improving health -- The role of innovation: Ten promising innovations -- The economic prize -- Imperatives for healthy growth -- Country appendix -- Bibliography
