Health is the cornerstone of a thriving society, yet quality healthcare remains elusive for many. In rural parts of the US, people at high risk of #lungcancer are five times less likely to have access to screening?
How can we address global equity gaps that prevent access to efficient care?
Hear as Stefan Werner Weber, Vice President, Head of Global Policy, Advocacy and Health Equity discusses three things AstraZeneca is doing to contribute to better societal health:
1. Using data to help pinpoint which areas of the world need better resources and care
2. Adopting digital technologies, like AI, to help reach more patients and improve quality of care
3. Engage in public-private academic partnerships to work with communities to improve early and equitable detection, diagnosis and treatment of diseases
At AstraZeneca, we’re continuing to collaborate and innovate to make quality healthcare a reality for all, regardless of their background or location.
Quality and timely healthcare remain out of reach for too many people, even though health is the foundation of a sustainable and thriving society.
Stefan Werner Weber, Vice President, Head of Global Policy, Advocacy and Health Equity at AstraZeneca, discusses this challenge in ‘Health: a Political Choice - Building Resilience and Trust’ calling for concerted efforts to tackle the issue by harnessing data, digital technologies and the power of public-private partnership.
Everyone, everywhere, deserves the chance to live a healthy life, regardless of who they are or where they were born. At AstraZeneca, we are working to better understand factors that drive poor health outcomes among different populations and partnering with health systems and communities to bring tailored solutions to close equity gaps.
