Abstract

Abstract This chapter reviews some of the key issues around total health and describes a multi-pronged approach that starts from a true understanding of the value of health to individuals and to society. We outline the entities and processes that could underpin a new total health system, one that could serve to take us into a happier and more prosperous future. Everything we value as humans depends on health. But as a society, we do not seem to place a value on health that is concomitant with what it means to us, as individuals and as part of a wider community. Our vulnerability to COVID-19 has taught us that health is our most untapped opportunity for prosperity and fairness in the 21st century. It has brought us together, and shown us the stark realities of living in an unequal society. Good health, total health, must be at the centre of our recovery.
