Proposed for Our Nation’s Health 2020-2030
Our health system needs to evolve.
For example, There is a crisis in mental wellbeing. The prescribing of antidepressants is at an all time high. St John’s Wort needs to be primarily prescribed in the treatment of depression before Prozac or other antidepressants that have serious side-effects. Medical Marijuana legalised for the treatment of epilepsy, some cancers and some auto-immune diseases.
All health information to be adapted so everyone can make informed decisions on medicines. The medical system is currently backwards....... We need to focus on the prevention of disease. Doctors are to receive bonuses for reducing the number of sick people within their community. Their wages going down the more chronically sick people there are. This is a true health model that incentivises health rather than profits from people remaining sick.
We are facing the reality of more global pandemics. We want to be more proactive nurturing national health and wellbeing. For example: eating healthy, exercise, beneficial vitamins, reduce alcohol and smoking etc.
