Dr. Ali Parsa joins CNBC Healthy Returns Summit alongside healthcare executive and investor Molly Joseph
PALO ALTO, Calif. and LONDON — A healthcare system focused on symptoms of the sick rather than a proactive approach to wellness poses a significant challenge in a post-COVID world, Babylon CEO Dr. Ali Parsa told CNBC’s Healthy Returns Summit.
Parsa, speaking alongside healthcare executive and investor Molly Joseph on a panel entitled, “Reimagining Healthcare: Putting Prevention Over Cure,” noted the role technology can play in moving the focus from simply treating the sick to keeping people healthy – a shift that will improve the system, increase the accessibility of quality care, and decrease downstream costs long-term for both patients and providers.
