VOICE-OVER: The Public Health Foresight Study 2018 shows how public health in the Netherlands will develop

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,480
if we continue down the current path without change.

3
00:00:09,980 --> 00:00:13,460
The prospects for future public health in the Netherlands are good.

4
00:00:13,580 --> 00:00:17,500
Nevertheless, we face some major future challenges.

5
00:00:17,900 --> 00:00:20,640
Here, we highlight a few of these challenges.

6
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:25,160
An ageing population means the number of elderly people will increase.

7
00:00:25,860 --> 00:00:32,380
An increasing number of elderly people will live alone at home, and healthcare will become more complex.

8
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:41,180
In the future, more people will suffer from chronic diseases such as dementia, cancer and cardiovascular diseases.

9
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:50,240
Healthcare for these people will change, as a result of technological developments, and because patients will increasingly do more themselves.

10
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,960
These developments will increase the pressure on informal care providers.

11
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:59,660
We also experience stress from a busy city life and flexible working arrangements...

12
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,600
and young people feel more and more pressure to perform.

13
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:08,960
To deal with the complex challenges we are facing, we need to develop a new way of working.

14
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:14,720
We need to collaborate more, and the focus should be on people’s personal situations.

15
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:19,700
This also means that we need to look beyond the borders of public health and healthcare.

16
00:01:19,700 --> 00:01:25,040
A healthy living environment, school and workplace are vital for a healthy future.

17
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,240
So, we need to develop a new way of working.

18
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:33,520
Fortunately, professionals and organizations have already started to do this.

19
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,540
We can build on these experiences.

20
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:37,880
A healthy prospect!
