No matter where we are in the world, we all want the opportunity to live our fullest possible life. However, inequitable systems and institutions, in the US and around the globe, have driven vast disparities in #health and wellbeing. Many places are addressing these inequities head-on and developing solutions to dismantle barriers to health. A new report from RWJF looks at trends emerging across the globe, all of which have deep implications for health #equity in the US.  And it spotlights innovative approaches other countries are taking to respond to these emerging areas. The report highlights six global health trends to watch, from India to Uruguay, Kenya to Singapore, and across the globe: - Growing calls for more #equitable care work - Greater longevity - Surge in digital health information impacting wellbeing - Compounding #housing crisis - Increasing risks to #nutrition security - Growing demands for healthy public spaces We can learn a great deal when we open ourselves up to ideas and experiences from outside our borders.
