 The evolving understanding of healthcare encompasses mental, behavioral, and social determinants of health, leading to a greater focus on healthcare inequity. Urbanization, migration, and climate change are straining healthcare systems, while aging populations benefit from health technology but also contribute to system strain. Effective implementation of health technology requires intentional, long-term planning. Existing systemic issues hinder the effectiveness of current and innovative solutions, particularly in resource-constrained areas. The evolving understanding of healthcare encompasses mental, behavioral, and social determinants of health, leading to a greater focus on healthcare inequity.

-The Covid-19 Pandemic exposed inequities and shortcomings in regional and global healthcare systems. Prioritizing Western health exacerbates systemic limitations, impacting infrastructure, supply chain, access, and finances. Failing to deliver equitable healthcare globally increases the vulnerability of everyone's health. +The Covid-19 Pandemic exposed inequities and shortcomings in regional and global healthcare systems. Prioritizing Western health exacerbates systemic limitations, impacting infrastructure, supply chain, access, and finances. Failing to deliver equitable healthcare globally increases the vulnerability of everyone's health. It is widely recognized that current approaches to healthcare management are inadequate. Reactive strategies and limited preventive measures have proven detrimental. The healthcare system and its components require agility and flexibility to address complex health needs effectively.

 The scenarios are shaped by 10 trends, one of which is 'The vaccine miracle - and cautionary message' which discusses how rapid vaccine development prevented higher death tolls and a deeper recession, but unequal access to vaccines remains a tragedy and a risk for future variants; global resilience and equitable distribution are crucial lessons to learn. The scenarios are shaped by 10 trends, one of which is 'The vaccine miracle - and cautionary message' which discusses how rapid vaccine development prevented higher death tolls and a deeper recession, but unequal access to vaccines remains a tragedy and a risk for future variants; global resilience and equitable distribution are crucial lessons to learn.

Through the analysis of future social trends and mega trends, the project identifies major issues, derives future technologies, and contributes to science and technology planning and policy formulation. The report identifies a major issue, "faster spreading of infectious disease and appearance of new infectious disease". As well as exploring a major issue group, 'medical and life', which looks at issues like: increasing demand for high quality medical services; weaponization of vaccines; and expanded range of application of cutting edge biotechnology.
