In the wake of a healthcare crisis, where lack of affordability and limited accessibility have never been more prevalent, it is frightening to ask, “How many healthy years do I have left?”
Global Health estimates that while life spans have increased from 67 years in 2000 to 73 years in 2019, on average people only spend five of those additional years in good health. People often have non-communicable diseases such as heart trouble, cancer, respiratory diseases and diabetes that affect their quality of life. The World Health Organization estimates that non-communicable diseases are responsible for 71% of all deaths globally.
