While fiscal restraint across the world is creating significant challenges for health care providers, demographic changes and scientific advances also bring tremendous opportunities. 

With the global population set to reach 8 billion by 2025, growing levels of lifestyle-related chronic diseases and advances in medical technology, are forcing an unprecedented pace of change.
