The AMA’s Vision for Australia’s Health was launched during Dr Khorshid’s first address to the National Press Club. The speech was broadcast live on ABC Television and can be replayed on ABC IView.
The Vision represents a clear blueprint for all governments and players in the sector, built around five pillars of detailed policy reform: (1) General Practice (2) Public Hospitals (3) Private Health (4) A Health System for All (5) A Health System for the Future.
The Vision draws upon the expertise of the AMA’s broad member base, with the AMA uniquely positioned to identify and understand systemic issues in the healthcare system that cut across preventative health; General Practice; public and private healthcare.
