We are in the throes of a global pandemic and the world is looking up to the healthcare industry to develop vaccines, treatments, diagnostics and products that will see it through the COVID-19 crisis. The novel coronavirus outbreak has demonstrated that if humanity is to survive as a species, it is imperative that there is equitable access to all essential health products and technologies without distinction of race, religion, political belief and economic or social condition. Universal access to quality healthcare for all is non-negotiable. In the fight against COVID-19, low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) seem to be faring better than wealthier, better-resourced, developed nations. With this change in dynamics, we are likely to witness greater reciprocity and sharing of best practices between LMICs and high-income countries (HICs) leading to genuine bi-directional partnerships. As well established business models are dismantled and long-held assumptions The novel dispelled, we could see healthcare being reshaped and democratized around coronavirus the planet. outbreak has The future will call for a new approach to prevention, screening, diagnosis, demonstrated therapy, monitoring and management of disease. Demand for therapies that that universal are patient-focused, data-driven and digitally enabled will increase. Patient care access to quality will move to non-clinical settings driven by technology and connectivity, even as healthcare accelerated adoption of digital therapeutics empowers patients with for all is point-of-care management. non-negotiable. Greater application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning will make drug discovery and development more innovative, cheaper and faster. Efficient capacity creation and productivity optimization will be critical
