The book

The Prevention Economy

Healthcare systems around the world are architected around illness. They respond, treat and manage. What they rarely do is prevent. This book makes the case that this is not just a moral failure - it is a commercial one.

“She does not simply argue that prevention is a good thing. Everyone agrees with that, and agreement has got us nowhere. She goes after the plumbing.”

Lord James Bethell, former Health Minister

What Sara speaks about
