MELBOURNE HEALTH SUMMIT MEMORANDUM
HEALTH IS A WISE INVESTMENT
The H20 Health – Health People, Successful Economy
(Melbourne 2014) – Summit wishes to emphasise to the
Worlds’ Leaders, including those at the G20 Australia, that
health and health care are core components of a fair, just
and successful economy.
We urge that there be meaningful dialogue with the Health
Sector to progress better health outcomes across Nations.
We note that:
 Concerns about health costs exist in all nations.
 Health of Nations is a core component of the Wealth of Nations.
 Good health systems are a marker of a fair and just society.
 The Health Sector employs significant numbers of people.
 A productive society depends on a healthy, engaged and
 Confident workforce.
 People participating and contributing in the economy continue to do
so if kept healthy.
“Health is the greatest social capital a nation can have”.
