PANEL DISCUSSION: Health, Medicine and Politics in Ireland: How universal health coverage (UHC) is a political struggle and governance challenge
We have heard of “institutional resistance” to implementing elements of Sláintecare. Whether this is true or not, the fact is healthcare reform plans in Ireland have repeatedly fallen short due to political, organisational and implementation failures. How do we ensure that Sláintecare doesn’t go the same way?
