In 1997, an Economist Intelligence Unit publication, Healthcare Europe, predicted: "No political party will deliberately kill off the National Health Service. This masterpiece of 1940s social equalisation has long been one of the UK's few untouchables." So far, the prediction stands.

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 Economist Intelligence Unit survey shows some substantial differences in attitude between healthcare professionals in the US, UK and Germany and their counterparts in India. The 138 Indian respondents to the survey report all manner of improvements in the standards of their country's healthcare services. In sharp contrast to their colleagues in the US, UK and Germany, nearly 60% of Indian respondents say that since 2006, patient satisfaction with levels of care has improved, as has citizens' overall wellness.

Lonza, a Swiss chemicals and biotechnology firm whose products feed into the pharmaceutical, healthcare and life sciences industries, built its first Asian plant in China 15 years ago. Since then, the firm’s production and R&D network in the region has grown consistently, says Michael Brown, vice president operations at Lonza Biologics in Singapore. Over the last ten years, Lonza has invested about CHF1bn (US$1.1bn) in Asia. Some 1,400 of its 11,000-strong global workforce are based in the region today.

AstraZeneca, a global biopharmaceutical company, saw Asia Pacific sales rise more than 7% in 2011 to reach US$6bn. Mark Mallon, the firm’s regional vice president of Asia Pacific and president of China, says Asia is “a fundamentally attractive, high growth region” for the pharmaceutical industry. Over the next few years, he expects the sector to experience strong double-digit growth in emerging markets such as China, Vietnam and India, and low single-digit growth in the more mature markets such as Australia, Japan and Taiwan.

India and South-east Asia together contribute around 25-30% of its overall profits, and about 50% of its branded business income.

On the front page of its June 2012 edition, the Chinese journal Health News published a poem by Chen Zhu, the minister of health. It read, in part, “The wind and thunder moving health reform across the country herald glad tidings/.../The deep pool is nothing to be afraid of…Heroes dare to cross.” Unorthodox though it was for a strategy memo, it turns out that this call to action may contain good advice for companies.

A new metastatic melanoma product, ipilimumab (sold as Yervoy), from Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS), has the potential to be a blockbuster. Malignant melanoma is increasing in frequency and this is the first new drug approved for the condition since 1998. Unlike previous treatments, it has been shown to increase life expectancy in patients by several months on average, and 28% are alive after two years, compared with just 14% using the previous treatment. Rather than the story of a single innovation, ipilimumab’s development shows how co-operation can yield a
