They will shape not just our healthcare systems but also our economy, politics, and culture. Aim: The overall aim of this report is just to present an outline skeleton of the main elements of a health plan that may be adopted to achieve a high quality medical care services in the near future. Approach: The approach that will be adopted to present the main elements of the health plan will be through a time frame that includes short term (about one year) and long-term measures (five to ten years).
