$4.5 trillion is spent on global healthcare annually. Over 100 million people fall into poverty each year from healthcare expenses. Two billion people worldwide live without even basic healthcare. Best practice care is delivered only about half the time. And that’s just the start. Add in aging populations, rising chronic diseases, and growing demand for tools tailored to local healthcare markets—and healthcare is by far one of the world’s most pressing and complex problems.
GE Healthcare is addressing global healthcare needs in very real and relevant ways. Healthymagination is about better health for more people everywhere. To that end, we’ve made a $6 billion commitment to develop innovations that will lower healthcare costs, increase healthcare access, and improve healthcare quality by 15%—goals we’re making real through diverse offerings and activities.

Thanks for sharing this article. I am a Massage Therapist and I have believed in the importance of physical activity. I now have some research to back my rationale to implement at least 20 minutes per day of aerobic activity. I am going to search for some supplemental to jogging, jump ropes and kids aerobic dance dvd's so that I advise my clients to try incorporating exercise as a lifelong habit! I love the ideas of using stationary bikes, dance dance revolution type games etc. Thanks so much for your blog.

I think healthcare should not be expensive for everybody. The government must strive hard to have a healthy citizen.

Anything that can improve healthcare for the patient, and allow more potential medical professionals to undertake a career in the industry is a great step forward.
It it through initiatives like this that make career paths such as becoming an ultrasound technician so inviting; and giving talented people more reasons to enter medicine can only result in better patient care for everyone.
