00:00:00.660 --> 00:00:06.240
VOICE-OVER: The Public Health Foresight Study 2018 shows how public health in the Netherlands will develop

00:00:06.240 --> 00:00:09.480
if we continue down the current path without change.

00:00:09.980 --> 00:00:13.460
The prospects for future public health in the Netherlands are good.

00:00:13.580 --> 00:00:17.500
Nevertheless, we face some major future challenges.

00:00:17.900 --> 00:00:20.640
Here, we highlight a few of these challenges.

00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:25.160
An ageing population means the number of elderly people will increase.

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.

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.

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.

00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:54.960
These developments will increase the pressure on informal care providers.

00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:59.660
We also experience stress from a busy city life and flexible working arrangements...

00:01:00.160 --> 00:01:03.600
and young people feel more and more pressure to perform.

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.

00:01:09.600 --> 00:01:14.720
We need to collaborate more, and the focus should be on people’s personal situations.

00:01:14.960 --> 00:01:19.700
This also means that we need to look beyond the borders of public health and healthcare.

00:01:19.700 --> 00:01:25.040
A healthy living environment, school and workplace are vital for a healthy future.

00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:28.240
So, we need to develop a new way of working.

00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:33.520
Fortunately, professionals and organizations have already started to do this.

00:01:33.520 --> 00:01:35.540
We can build on these experiences.

00:01:36.520 --> 00:01:37.880
A healthy prospect!
