Future of Medicine 2025: Hamilton

The Future of Medicine: Preventative Healthcare.

New Zealand's healthcare system is under immense pressure, grappling with a growing wave of chronic diseases and mental health challenges. The current healthcare model remains predominantly reactive, focused on treating symptoms with medications and procedures rather than preventing these conditions in the first place.
