About

SWISS HEALTHCARE INNOVATION DAY

Health for All Policies approach recognises that strengthening health policies and improving health outcomes have major and tangible co-benefits for other sectors. Investing in the resilience of health systems is key for country’s economy and security.

It is widely recognised that human capital is one of the key drivers of economic development. Sustainability and efficiency of education and healthcare predetermine quality of human capital. Thus, improving healthcare outcomes can activate internal labour reserves for economic growth.

Research stipulates, that generative AI can contribute Estonia’s GDP by up to 8%. Having nearly two decades of experience developing digital health infrastructure and companies building most comprehensive digital health ecosystem, Estonia is paving the way for other countries with its expertise.
