New Delhi: Three simple preventive health measures such as making homes safer to prevent falls, increasing physical activity and expanding access to hearing aids could save global healthcare systems more than USD 5.8 trillion and generate an additional USD 645 billion in productivity by 2040, according to a World Economic Forum (WEF) insight report.
The report, "The Longevity Dividend: The Business Case for Linking Health and Wealth", argues that governments and businesses should stop treating health and wealth as separate policy areas and instead view preventive healthcare as an economic investment.
