The Coming Crisis in Global Health
Delivery of health insurance benefits globally is under major financial pressure
The reasons are as follows:
1. Populations are living longer— putting extreme financial pressure on social care
2. Medical Cost Inflation (MCI) is continuing to rise rapidly in most countries
3.Lifestyle risk factors are growing globally—the global burden of non-communicable disease is now greater than that of communicable disease
4. Workforces are aging in most countries (1–2 years every 5 years)
5. Major competitive pressure to expand scope of private health insurance benefits
6.Employers are coming under pressure to provide retirees with access to group health insurance in many countries
Costs of health insurance is increasing by 3% - 5% above GDP in most markets around the World

Definition of a Healthy WorkplaceA healthy workplace is one in which workers and managers collaborate to use a continual improvement process to protect and promote the health, safety and well-being of all workers and the sustainability of the workplace by considering the following, based on identified needs: • health and safety concerns in the physical work environment; • health, safety and well-being concerns in the psychosocial work environment including organization of work and workplace culture; • personal health resources in the workplace; and • ways of participating in the community to improve the health of workers, their families and other members of the community.
