Type: article
Abstract: The future of AVS, dizziness, and vertigo in emergency departments Part IV: Priorities for universal healthcare after COVID In the fourth article of this five-part series, Dr Millie Nakatsuka discusses how reform must be integrated into the broader context of the public health landscape. 2024 marks the 46th anniversary of the Alma-Ata Declaration, which identified primary healthcare as the key method of achieving ‘Health for All’. OECD analysis, however, continues to show that substantial chronic underinvestment in preventive healthcare and chronic disease management persists, reflecting a global failure to adopt coherent coordinated health policies, and to rationally plan cost-effective healthcare aligned with population health priorities. Instead, governments regularly misallocate and waste resources on ad hoc politically motivated projects, all too often catering to the lobbying power of vested interest groups.
