Branham Group Releases Report on International Health Care Perspectives

This report explores the reasons for the contrast between the health care systems in developed and developing countries, and how Canada compares to other industrialized countries

- Branham Group Inc., a leading global Information and Communication Technology (ICT) analyst and strategic marketing consultancy, recently released a report titled "International Perspectives on Health Care," which provides insight on the contrast between health care systems in developed and developing countries.

The report provides a narrative on how health care systems in developing countries project the struggle between the need to provide health care to citizens while balancing this need with economic and other development imperatives. The report further delves into the key components of health care systems around the world and explores select systems in brief. It also compares the Canadian health care system with other OECD countries. Canada's health care system, while a successful model of universal health care, continues to experience its own set of challenges, including increasing wait times, shortage of skilled labour, and limited budgets.

According to Wayne Gudbranson, President and CEO of the Branham Group, "The study of international health care systems inevitably reveals stark and intriguing contrasts, which have at their root an individual country's unique set of economic and social values." He further states that, "Health care systems in all nations are driven by both economic and social factors, however each one has unique characteristics and needs. It is important for Canada to learn from other health care systems around the globe."
