Exhibition Concept:
Can we enable healthier lives? Progress has extended life expectancy beyond any previous generation. As the pace of global change accelerates, we set our sights on the horizon to imagine healthcare of the future. Human health will be shaped by innovative technologies as health systems seek to break barriers and drive diverse collaborations. New ways of working are already sending ripples across our health systems and beyond to the social, legal, and ethical landscape. Equity of access and wellbeing practices are changing the model of care. But what’s next? Will the future of health arrive by evolution or revolution?
The UNSW HTH Exhibition space will engage people and communities to explore the most pressing global health and societal challenges. Our programs spark curiosity and show how we transform basic science and discoveries into therapies, treatments and cures, delivered directly to patients.
Our key themes include:
How the Future of Health enables healthy lives.
Health challenges and opportunities – impacts on people, society and culture.
How collaboration can speed progress.
Social justice, integrity, inclusion and centering Indigenous knowledges.
