Capturing opportunities in the context of global health reform

An Apax Partners conference in Nov 2009 called 'Capturing opportunities in the context of global health reform', brought together '35 distinguished health care leaders from the United States and 35 from around the world for a deep, rigorous dialogue in a candid setting.' Speakers included David Nicholson CEO of the NHS. He is reported as saying that

to ensure the sustainability of today’s model of health care delivery, health systems must find ways to drive significant productivity gains – at a speed and on a scale that has never been achieved before. Innovation and competition will be the keys to ensuring systems’ sustainability – at the NHS and in all of the world’s health systems.
