About the conversation: We discuss the full Philips Future Health Index Report for 2023, with some of the key insights and our responses to them. Now in its 8th year, the report surveyed 3000 healthcare leaders and professionals from 14 countries, and evaluated their priorities and perspectives across a number of issues. A new focus this year was the experience of younger healthcare professionals and how their responses differed from those of their counterparts and predecessors. Thank you Philips for driving the conversation and providing the information from this research that allows us to make decisions about the future of healthcare in South Africa.
