The doctor will see you now – future of healthcare post-COVID
The coronavirus pandemic upended healthcare systems in countries around the world. The impact of COVID-19 required many routine operations and appointments to be delayed, while lockdowns meant that systems for remote consultations had to be quickly developed or expanded.
Now, as many countries remove the restrictions that were put in place during the pandemic, health care systems are facing up to a backlog of treatments and tests – but with a greater understanding of the role for digital technology in helping to create a more accessible system.
This webinar looked at how governments are rebuilding healthcare provision post-COVID, looking at how they are helping services recover from the shock of the pandemic, and the innovations and best practice that can be used to help future-proof the sector.
Join this webinar to find out:
- If healthcare systems have recovered from COVID-19, and how they are developing plans to tackle the backlog in care
- How digital healthcare was used in the pandemic – and its role in the future
- How to develop integrated healthcare systems that are better prepared for future shocks
