Cast4Health E2S1

In the second episode of Cast for Health, we welcome Pedro Facon, a key figure in the Belgian healthcare system. With his background as former Director General of the FPS Public Health and corona commissioner, and his current work at the NIHDI, Pedro shares a unique perspective on the challenges and opportunities within our healthcare system.

During the talk, he explains how the NIHDI protects people from financial insecurity in case of illness, why innovation and prevention are crucial to the future of health care, and how cooperation between governments is essential to keep health care accessible and affordable. Pedro emphasizes that health care is more than just caring for the sick – it requires vision, efficiency and strong preventive policies to build a healthier society. Curious what Pedro himself would do if given 10 million euros? You’ll hear it too in this episode.
