Dear Elmo,
In the Asia-Pacific, health systems are at breaking point, ageing populations and rising chronic disease are placing unprecedented pressure on infrastructure and public finance. Yet focusing on health offers a clear path to stronger societies and economies: for every $1 invested, returns of $2 and $4 can follow.
We invite you to save the date for the virtual event on “The value of health: a cornerstone for economic and social resilience in Asia Pacific” programmed by Economist Impact and sponsored by Johnson & Johnson. |
October 28 2025 | 10:00 a.m. KST / 11:00 a.m. AEDT |
| This session will assemble senior decision-makers from the public sector (finance, economy, health, infrastructure), multilateral institutions, global health organisations, corporate sustainability teams, policy think tanks, academic institutions, NGOs, and philanthropic foundations. |
| Key topics include:
-
What factors are increasing strain on health systems?
-
What are the short- and long-term economic consequences of underinvestment in health?
-
How can the private sector and civil society contribute to shifting the narrative around health as an investment, not a cost? What would success look like in five years?
-
How can governments prioritise appropriate health investment? How can investment in health become part of economic growth strategies?
-
What innovative financing and policy mechanisms can help overcome budgetary constraints in healthcare?
-
How can health investments be designed to reduce disparities and foster more inclusive systems?
More details including speakers and registration will follow soon.
In the meantime, please mark your calendar and plan to join us for a critical conversation on advancing health and resilience across the region. |
Kind regards,
Economist Impact |
