Description - A Call to Action: Taking Back Healthcare for Future Generations by Hank A. McKinnell

In A Call To Action, Hank McKinnell reframes the debate about healthcare away from issues of cost to the benefits of wellness, arguing that the focus should be on the benefits of wellness to society and what society gains from well people; a more productive society leads to a more robust economy. The author goes on to provide a sobering assessment of the looming threat posed by global disease if unabated, and offers guideposts for what business leaders - those who he believes are best equipped to address the problem - can and must do to contain it. Writing from his experience as a 32-year veteran of the war against disease and a committed philanthropist, McKinnell outlines four critical steps that must be taken to eliminate the global threat of infectious disease and alleviate its economic burden: 1. Access to medicines that combat devastating infectious diseases must be expanded to include the world's poorest nations. 2. Long-term commitments in facilitating access to medicine must be established. 3. Improved healthcare delivery, training, education and infrastructure are needed along with access to medicine in order to improve conditions in developing countries. 4.
Effective public-private partnerships are essential to providing the expertise and resources required to solve the problem of access to medicines and healthcare.
