So proud of Waldo B., Terece Brown, MHI and others on the team who conducted this analysis. I believe its time for work on health equity to get more tactical. How does access to digital tools or experiences with them differ across communities? Where are virtual tools offering improvements to access, and where are those tools contributing to inequities? This kind of analysis can inform specific interventions that address gaps. Are there opportunities for action you see arising from this report?

One year ago, the WHO Council on the Economics of Health for All (2021-23) issued its final report, calling for a reorientation of economies and proposing a roadmap for a world where the health and well-being of people and planet take precedence over unsustainable growth.   It was a great pleasure to contribute to this month's special edition of the WHO Bulletin, which was inspired by the Council's work: https://lnkd.in/eRG5z4B3 #Economy4Health #healthfinancing Inke Mathauer

I completely agree - information is a determinant of health and directly and indirectly affects health outcomes via several routes. A timely and much-needed publication, Karen DeSalvo! https://lnkd.in/e49Rx5Uh

Trust in Healthcare: A Pillar of Personal Health The 2024 Edelman Trust Barometer underscores a fundamental truth: trust in healthcare providers is paramount to personal health. The insights from this comprehensive report reveal that trust is not just a nice-to-have but a critical component influencing patient outcomes and engagement. Key highlights from the report include: • Patient Confidence: Trust in healthcare institutions directly correlates with patients’ confidence in their treatment plans and overall health outcomes. • Communication: Open, transparent communication from healthcare providers builds trust, fostering better patient compliance and satisfaction. • Digital Transformation: As digital health solutions evolve, maintaining trust in these new technologies is essential for their successful integration into patient care. In our journey at Dr.Soliman Fakeeh Hospital Jeddah, we prioritize trust as the foundation of our healthcare delivery. By embracing transparency, effective communication, and cutting-edge digital health solutions, we aim to strengthen the trust our patients place in us, ultimately leading to better health outcomes and enhanced patient experiences.
