The road to a better normal: Breast cancer patients and survivors in the EU workforce is an Economist Intelligence Unit report, sponsored by Pfizer. It investigates the challenges involved in the return to employment for a growing number of breast cancer patients and survivors of working age. In particular, it examines the growing number of women in this situation who wish to work, the barriers to doing so, and how key stakeholders could help.

The road to a better normal: Breast Cancer patients and survivors in the EU...
Healthcare systems in Europe have slowly transformed breast cancer from a fatal condition into a (frequently chronic)
Value-based healthcare in Sweden: Reaching the next level
The need to get better value from healthcare investment has never been more important as ageing populations and increasing numbers of people with multiple chronic conditions force governments to make limited financial resources go further.
These pressures, along with a greater focus on patient-centred care, have raised the profile of VBHC, especially in European healthcare systems. Sweden, with its highly comprehensive and egalitarian healthcare system, has been a leader in implementing VBHC from the beginning, a fact that was underscored in a 2016 global assessment of VBHC published by The Economist Intelligence Unit.
This paper looks at the ways in which Sweden has implemented VBHC, the areas in which it has faced obstacles and the lessons that it can teach other countries and health systems looking to improve the value of their own healthcare investments.
Breast cancer patients and survivors in the Asia-Pacific workforce
With more older women also working, how will the rising trend of breast cancer survivorship manifest in workplace policies, practices and culture? What challenges do breast cancer survivors face when trying to reintegrate into the workforce, or to continue working during treatment? How can governments, companies and society at large play a constructive role?
This series of reports looks at the situation for breast cancer survivors in Australia, New Zealand and South Korea. It finds that while progress has been made, more needs to be done, particularly in South Korea, where public stigma around cancer remains high.
Cardiovascular diseases levy a substantial financial toll on individuals, their households and the public finances. These include the costs of hospital treatment, long-term disease management and recurring incidence of heart attacks and stroke. They also include the costs of functional impairment and knock-on costs as families may lose breadwinners or have to withdraw other family members from the workforce to care for a CVD patient. Governments also lose tax revenue due to early retirement and mortality, and can be forced to reallocate public finances from other budgets to maintain an accessible healthcare system in the face of rising costs.
As such, there is a need for more awareness of the ways in which people should actively work to reduce their CVD risk. There is also a need for more primary and secondary preventative support from health agencies, policymakers and nongovernmental groups.
To inform the decisions and strategies of these stakeholders, The Economist Intelligence Unit and EIU Healthcare, its healthcare subsidiary, have conducted a study of the prevalence and costs of the top four modifiable risk factors that contribute to CVDs across the Asian markets of China, Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand.
The burden of stroke on countries, communities and individuals is well-documented, with stroke survivors being troubled by a greater range of disabilities than those with any other condition. Fortunately, the risk factors for stroke are relatively well-understood by medical professionals, and opportunities have been identified to implement effective prevention and management strategies. However, these best practices are not consistently implemented around the world.

Cancer is the second-biggest killer in Latin America, accounting for 19% of all deaths on average. The International Agency for Research on Cancer projects the number of cancer deaths in Latin America to more than double by 2035. New analysis by The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) shows that in recent years the region has made important steps forward, such as widespread human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination, increasingly stringent anti-tobacco laws and growing access to cancer care for the previously uninsured. However, problems persist, especially the accelerating obesity epidemic, “medical apartheid” that is restricting poorer citizens to less well-resourced care, and a widespread lack of palliative care.

Cancer control, access and inequality in Latin America: A tale of light and...
The Economist Intelligence Unit has created the Latin America Cancer Control Scorecard (LACCS) to assess cancer-control policies and programmes in 12 Latin American countries. The LACCS shows that a number of countries in the region have put in place or strengthened their National Cancer Control Plans. However, plans are often not sufficiently comprehensive and lack funding. Progress has also been made in rolling out population-based cancer registries in the region, but issues with data quality and coverage persist. Other areas with room for improvement include high rates of late-stage diagnosis, insufficient resources for current and future cancer-care needs, fragmented healthcare systems and inequalities in access to care.
Tackling the burden of prostate cancer in Latin America: The prospects for...
Prostate cancer is placing an ever-growing burden on already strained Latin American healthcare systems, as both the incidence of the disease and mortality rates rise. For the purposes of this report, Latin America encompasses the territory from the northern border of Mexico to the southern tip of South America, including the Caribbean.
Prostate cancer is the leading cause of male cancer-related deaths in the region, and the disease and economic burden is set to rise in tandem with longevity and changes in lifestyle and diet.
Addressing this rapid growth is thus an urgent task, and one that higher-income countries around the world have addressed with some success through patient-centred healthcare. In the US, for example, integrated-care systems have been delivered though accountable care organisations that focus on patient needs.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) says that "integrated people-centred health services means putting the needs of people and communities, not diseases, at the centre of health systems, and empowering people to take charge of their own health".[i] However, integrated and patient-centred healthcare has seen a slow rate of adoption in the Latin America region. This suggests that much work needs to be done to sharpen the focus on respecting and responding to patient needs.
This report draws on findings from an Economist Intelligence Unit study, Assessing the burden of Prostate Cancer in Brazil,[ii] and in-depth interviews with ten experts on cancer care in the region. It assesses current prostate-cancer developments and provides real-world examples from Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica and Mexico of how institutions are addressing, or failing to address, prostate cancer through a patient-centred approach.

The regional rise in age-standardised incidence has been running at four to eight times the global average since the 1990s. Meanwhile, the disease is no longer a concern large of developed countries but has become an increasingly important one in many emerging market states, where it is frequently now the most common form of cancer among females.
This report, Breast Cancer: The challenge and response, written by The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) and commissioned by Pfizer, examines the growing health burden of the disease in 10 major Asia-Pacific countries and territories, as well as how health systems are addressing the challenge.

However, for the first time, nearly half of HIV-infected people on Spain are over the age of 50; they are facing special challenges resulting from the accumulated toxicities of earlier treatment and from social difficulties and exclusion—primarily affecting those infected in the earliest wave of the epidemic. Spain’s populations most at-risk of contracting HIV are also changing, but practices to encourage early detection and testing are not being adjusted in a timely manner.

Imagine you have a budget of £150m (US$193m) to spend in a country where the prevalence of malaria and teenage pregnancy is high, as are the corresponding infant, child and maternal mortality rates. You have three options to spend your money: a programme to distribute bed nets, protecting children against malaria; a programme that expands access to family planning, offering protection to young women; or a salary reform initiative, enabling the Ministry of Health to hire enough staff. You haven’t got enough money to do it all and you need "quick and attributable wins" that avoid negative media on the wastage of money. What would you choose?

The Global Access to Healthcare Index measures how healthcare systems across the world are working to solve the most pressing healthcare needs of their population. The top performers are the Netherlands (1st), France, Germany (tied for 2nd), Australia and the UK (tied for 4th), while the Democratic Republic of the Congo (59th) and Afghanistan (60th) are at the bottom of the index. Political will and a social compact are prerequisites for both extending access to healthcare and building sustainable health systems. Public investment underpins good access and demonstrates the commitment of governments to ensuring the health of their populations. The index shows that there is a strong correlation between human development (health, education and income) and access to healthcare.
