Did you know?
Global healthcare spending exceeds $10 trillion annually and is projected to grow as populations age, chronic diseases become more prevalent, and new treatments extend the boundaries of what medicine can address. Healthcare is one of the most defensive equity sectors — people require medical care regardless of economic conditions — giving healthcare stocks historically lower volatility than the broader market during recessions. The World Health Organisation projects that the global healthcare workforce will face a shortfall of approximately 10 million workers by 2030, driving significant investment in health technology, automation, and digital diagnostics.
