Comparing Healthcare Systems: Global Perspectives from Australia and the United States
What if the answer to better healthcare isn’t more money, but new ideas? New Perspectives and Collaboration and input across the globe? In this globe-spanning episode of Global Healthcare Conversations, moderator Eric Ross and host Dr. Shyam Paryani connect Jacksonville, Florida with Brisbane, Australia for an unfiltered look at what’s actually working and what’s failing, on both sides of the world with Dr. Minalli Vasandani. Together they break down universal vs. private insurance, why your mouth and eyes are strangely left out of “health” care, and how aging populations are reshaping the future of medicine in real time. From the myth of a magic pill for obesity to the promises (and pitfalls) of artificial intelligence and Telehealth, this isn’t just talk... It’s your front-row seat to the future of medicine. Dr. Minalli Vasandani, originally a Periodontist and Implantologist, is now an Academic and Health Service Manager with Griffith University in Australia, and her perspective is one you don't want to miss. Dr Shyam Paryani, a physician by trade is now a community leader and for Jacksonvvile and the University of Florida Brooks College of Health Ready for a healthcare revolution?
