Abstract

Throughout this chapter, barriers and challenges are mentioned, which still impede the radical cultural and systemic change necessary to implement integrated people-centred systems at scale. Given how long the interplay of body, mind and social environment has already been recognised as essential for the health and wellbeing of people, it is at first glance astonishing that so little has changed in our systems thus far. However, upon closer scrutiny, the shift from patho- to salutogenesis represents a profound paradigm shift, which touches at the cultural, financial and structural core of our systems.
