Source: The Lancet
The world faces many challenges due to limited natural resources and the environmental and political consequences of using and managing scarce resources. The human consequences of natural disasters, conflict, and climate change look set to worsen. One solution is a resource that is genuinely unlimited and renewable, if well managed: knowledge. In science and technology, knowledge is an indispensable ingredient for progress. Within health care, it is key to the challenges of minimising potential harms and costs, while improving health and wellbeing.
