Many countries spend more than 10% of their gross domestic product
(GDP) on health expenditures
Healthcare is facing unsustainable growth
Sector is not spending resources efficiently
Technology is crucial:

3. Healthcare costs in perspective
The cost of the
Dutch police force...
The cost of buying a
2nd JSF testplane...
The annual cost of
the Dutch royal family...
Would pay for only
5 hours of healthcare
Equals paying for
healthcare for one
month
Pays for just one
morning of healthcare
