WHO Council on the Economics of Health for All Report | 2020

Published in 2020, the WHO Council on the Economics of Health for All Report represents a strategic effort to reframe “health for all” as a public policy objective and ensure that national and global economies and finance are structured in such a way to deliver on this ambitious goal.

In the early 21st century, health was often seen as a financial burden due to aging populations and rising healthcare costs. However, the balanced scorecard of health reporting, adopted in 2051, changed this view. Lea, a public health analyst, reviews the Health Economy Hologram in her office. An AI-powered hologram displaying links between a healthy population and economic benefit. It illustrates how various aspects of health contribute to economic prosperity and social wellbeing. The hologram shows metrics such as ‘conversations with loved ones', 'exercise’, ‘creative expression’, ‘intergenerational interactions’ and ‘nutritious meals consumed’. Each metric is linked to economic data showing reduced healthcare costs, increased productivity, and enhanced quality of life. For instance, regular physical activity reduces medical expenses and boosts workplace efficiency, while intergenerational interactions improve mental health and reduce social care costs.
