This article is part of an interesting "The Conversation’s" International Health Systems series, where possible opportunities for improving Australia's Health System are suggested, based on what has been found to work well in other countries. Richard Norman, Senior Research Fellow in Health Economics at Curtin University and Suzanne Robinson, Associate Professor of Health Policy and Management at Curtin University look at the lessons England's NHS has for Australia:

While these articles are mainly of intellectual interest, they may prove of interest in highlighting deficiencies in your country's health system that you may be able to counter through various means to the betterment of you and your family's health.
