Join us for the screening of ‘Health Factory – compassion on the assembly line’  - followed by a brief discussion on the implications

 

Health care institutions mimic industry production to become more efficient. The goal is to get more health for the money spent, based on the presumption that private corporations are more efficient and less wasteful than public institutions.

"Health Factory" is a film about the history and confidential methods of the health care system in the western world, and the future challenges facing it. Increased spending on health services is the norm. The costs are spiralling out of control.

 

Do we have to be in a competitive state in order to work efficiently, or does professional pride really exist?

Are we about to lose our humanity in our struggle to increase productivity?

There is a firm consensus that "something has to be done"...
