It took a while, but here is the second essay on the #globalhealth series that I have written with my colleagues on the PwC platform. In this series, we focus on the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) - a fundamental concept necessary for increasing accessibility to health for all. Japan being well known as the leaders in this field, we explore various types of UHC and roles Japan can play in establishing UHC across the globe - it’s a quick read, I hope there is something you can takeaway from it! https://lnkd.in/giTkJwWE

The significant difference in average lifespans between Pakistan (65 years) and Singapore (87 years) highlights disparities in healthcare systems, socioeconomic conditions, lifestyle choices, and government policies. Factors that contribute to Singapore’s longer lifespan include: 1. Advanced Healthcare System: Singapore has a world-class healthcare system with access to quality medical care, preventive health programs, and advanced technology. 2. Higher Standard of Living: Better nutrition, housing, and sanitation positively affect health outcomes. 3. Education and Awareness: High literacy rates and health education encourage healthier lifestyle choices. 4. Strong Public Health Policies: Initiatives in areas such as vaccination, urban planning, and environmental protection contribute to better overall health. In Pakistan, challenges include limited access to healthcare in rural areas, higher rates of communicable diseases, lower vaccination coverage, and underfunded public health systems. Improvements in education, healthcare infrastructure, and awareness campaigns could help bridge this gap over time.
