Without putting people's health and well-being at the centre of public policy, we won't be able to realize our healthy future. A person's economic prospects are harmed by poor health throughout their life. Poor health impairs the potential of early babies and children to build human capital; ill-health affects the quality of life and labour market results of adults, and disadvantage accumulates over time. Many of the circumstances necessary for transformation are in place. There is abundant evidence, for example, that investment in public health and primary prevention pays off in terms of both health and economic returns. Similarly, digital technology has made various services and goods across many industries secure, quick, and seamless.
