00:00:02.040 --> 00:00:05.074
Access to health is a major
concern, and it's even more top

e5f84c12-76b6-4412-93a8-8f4c7c997d06-1
00:00:05.074 --> 00:00:08.160
of mind these days for general
public and for leaders alike.

bc7b1ab5-5b0b-404f-bbeb-3db0cb1aca97-0
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:12.680
In the next coming years, we'll
have to deal with two issues.

a338af61-4324-4cb4-8b12-18a7595a9512-0
00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:15.368
One is that we'll have to
operate with resource

a338af61-4324-4cb4-8b12-18a7595a9512-1
00:00:15.368 --> 00:00:15.960
constraints.

00:00:16.280 --> 00:00:19.915
Two is that we'll have to face a
rising burden of chronic

fa3c83f6-94fe-4041-bf64-7c3c71f4dd2d-1
00:00:19.915 --> 00:00:20.480
diseases.

00:00:21.360 --> 00:00:23.080
What does equitable access mean?

727cfdd7-6dd3-4ef3-b3c8-0423a7fb427b-0
00:00:23.240 --> 00:00:26.246
It means that all populations
would have the same access to

727cfdd7-6dd3-4ef3-b3c8-0423a7fb427b-1
00:00:26.246 --> 00:00:28.000
health care services and
products.

00:00:28.240 --> 00:00:29.680
But today it's not the case.

00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:33.587
We have underserved populations
in high income and in low income

c0678482-bbfc-4f1c-83d9-0873c55f99e0-1
00:00:33.587 --> 00:00:34.480
countries alike.

00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:38.208
To give you an example, it's
estimated that by 2030, the

71747ebb-5b99-4301-8ed2-f1a756568a6f-1
00:00:38.208 --> 00:00:41.267
world is going to be short of 10
million health care

71747ebb-5b99-4301-8ed2-f1a756568a6f-2
00:00:41.267 --> 00:00:44.556
professionals, seven of which
will be in Middle East and

71747ebb-5b99-4301-8ed2-f1a756568a6f-3
00:00:44.556 --> 00:00:44.959
Africa.

00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:49.927
To give you another example,
even in the OECD countries we

53fc9ffa-c48c-4f2b-a18c-215ea49b4a18-1
00:00:49.927 --> 00:00:54.096
observe variations in health
outcomes, variations of maternal

53fc9ffa-c48c-4f2b-a18c-215ea49b4a18-2
00:00:54.096 --> 00:00:55.240
mortality of 10X.

00:00:56.040 --> 00:00:57.400
So what can digital do?

4dac8699-bf56-45cf-a1a6-cc3df7ed1ad6-0
00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:02.511
Digital can help us by solving
access barriers such as cost,

4dac8699-bf56-45cf-a1a6-cc3df7ed1ad6-1
00:01:02.511 --> 00:01:05.720
such as distance or stigma or
many others.

00:01:05.960 --> 00:01:08.040
But it is very difficult to put
in place.

12eb2208-6067-4769-ae69-c4ad4d0db7ce-0
00:01:08.160 --> 00:01:11.269
We've had a number of very
successful experiments and

12eb2208-6067-4769-ae69-c4ad4d0db7ce-1
00:01:11.269 --> 00:01:14.897
pilots, a lot of things that we
can learn from, but today they

12eb2208-6067-4769-ae69-c4ad4d0db7ce-2
00:01:14.897 --> 00:01:16.280
struggle to reach scale.

341afff5-dcce-46bc-bf5b-d58c127aec80-0
00:01:16.360 --> 00:01:19.506
The reason for that is that
successful implementation of

341afff5-dcce-46bc-bf5b-d58c127aec80-1
00:01:19.506 --> 00:01:22.486
digital solutions require the
whole ecosystem to work

341afff5-dcce-46bc-bf5b-d58c127aec80-2
00:01:22.486 --> 00:01:25.577
together, and for a whole
ecosystem to align it takes a

341afff5-dcce-46bc-bf5b-d58c127aec80-3
00:01:25.577 --> 00:01:26.240
lot of time.
