We discuss the need to make healthcare better for all, focusing on issues such as gender inequality, mental health, and access to medicine and highlighting the importance of investing in women's health and the role of grassroots organisations in advocating for change. The potential of AI in improving healthcare is also explored, with a focus on care robots and the democratisation of information. The conversation also addresses the inequitable access to drug treatments and the need for public-private partnerships. The guests provide silver buckshot solutions, including economic policies, challenging social norms, and asking critical questions.
Takeaways
• Investing in women's health is not only a medical and humanitarian imperative but also makes economic, social, political, and climate sense.
• AI has the potential to improve healthcare by assisting carers, providing reminders for medication, and democratizing information, but caution is needed to ensure safety and quality.
• Equitable access to drug treatments requires public health approaches, government action, and citizen engagement to hold corporations accountable.
• Improving healthcare for all requires addressing social norms, investing in grassroots organizations, and challenging economic policies that perpetuate inequality.
• Asking critical questions, such as why rich countries are rich and why pre-industrial variables continue to cause inequality, is essential for driving change.
