COVID offers chance for patient-centered healthcare change, new book argues. A solutions-based, scientific, and data-driven approach to the concept of ‘healthcare for all’ is explored in a new book that looks at the future of healthcare beyond the coronavirus global health crisis.A solutions-based, scientific and data-driven approach to the concept of ‘healthcare for all’ is explored in a new book that looks at the future of healthcare beyond the coronavirus global health crisis. The COVID-19 pandemic has illustrated in stark terms how ill-prepared existing public policy and healthcare systems were to deal with the challenges of providing quality and affordable patient services. In their new book, Beyond the COVID-19 pandemic: Envisioning a better world by transforming the future of healthcare, authors Ambassador Pradeep K Kapur and Dr Joseph M Chalil present SafetyNet, a ‘healthcare for all’ policy that challenges the world to enable political consensus to create meaningful change for all – both in the United States and worldwide. The book asks the questions: what if it’s not reform we need, but instead a revolution? And what if we re-imagined a healthcare system with patients, not big pharma and insurance companies, in the driver’s seat? Their “grand plan” acknowledges that advances in and the adoption of new technology will revolutionise the field of healthcare, and they offer critical strategies that countries can adopt during natural disasters, wars, or pandemics. The emerging world order, as envisioned by the authors, addresses healthcare needs, education, and sustainable lifestyle choices, reducing the need for more intensive and costly interventions to improve overall quality of life. They go on to suggest a roadmap that goes beyond just reform. Ambassador Pradeep K Kapur has enjoyed a distinguished career working with leaders and policy makers around the world. He was Ambassador of India to Chile and to Cambodia, as well as Secretary at the Indian Ministry of External Affairs. His healthcare contributions include setting up the bilateral India Nepal initiative, the BP Koirala Institute of Health Sciences. A graduate of Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi (IIT-D), he is executive director of the Smart Village Development Fund (SVDF) of the Wheels Global Foundation. His co-author, Dr Joseph M Chalil, is chair of the Complex Health Systems Advisory Board, H Wayne Huizenga College of Business and Entrepreneurship at Nova Southeastern University in Florida, and a member of the Dr Kiran C Patel College of Allopathic Medicine’s Executive Leadership Council. A veteran of the US Navy Medical Corps, he is board certified in healthcare management and was awarded a fellowship by the American College of Healthcare Executives. Considered an expert in US healthcare policy, he is a strong advocate for patient-centred care. Paying tribute to their work, Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, the revered spiritual and humanitarian leader, says: “This book makes a comprehensive study of all aspects that have been affected by the coronavirus pandemic while proposing practical ways to deal with those challenges. I congratulate the authors Ambassador Pradeep Kapur and Dr Joseph Chalil on offering such penetrating insight towards the current situation and also providing clarity on the way forward.”
Time to radically revamp the American health care system in light of the flawed response to the Covid-19 pandemic and many other dysfunctions, argues this sweeping manifesto. Kapur, a public policy professor at the University of Maryland College Park, and debut author Chalil, a physician and chairman of the Indo American Press Club, start by noting medical difficulties faced by the United States during the Covid-19 pandemic. These include shortages of masks, personal protective equipment, and ventilators; mass layoffs that caused people to lose their insurance; and bankruptcies among some hospitals that suspended elective procedures to make way for virus cases. They continue with a wide-ranging critique of American medicine, spotlighting its higher costs and poorer health outcomes compared to other developed countries; the lack of accessibility of needy and uninsured patients; shortages of hospitals, doctors, and nurses; and the pressure on providers to improve profits by cutting corners and to defend against malpractice suits with unnecessary tests. To remedy these problems, the authors propose a “Grand Plan To Restructure Healthcare in the U.S.” with a mix of public provisions and market-based competition. They envision a “SafetyNet” of public county hospitals providing basic care to all regardless of insurance or ability to pay. A second system of private hospitals, providers, and insurance, funded by “Enhanced Health Savings Accounts,” would run in parallel and compete in price and quality in a national and global market, with medical services advertised like groceries, complete with coupons. Other plan features include a unitary electronic medical record, caps on malpractice damages, a Comprehensive Consumer Healthcare Score that awards points for healthy lifestyles that could lower insurance rates, initiatives to train more health care professionals, a National Strategic Healthcare Reserve of emergency supplies, and new technologies, from online diagnosis to medical robots. Kapur and Chalil present their case for far-reaching reforms of American health care in lucid prose that has an incisive bite. (“Calling it a healthcare system is a misnomer. It is a disease-care system, one that focuses on diagnosing and treating symptoms instead of taking on the job of educating individuals and families to take a proactive approach to their health.”) But the book suffers from a meandering, repetitive structure and an occasional lack of focus and rigor; it pursues tangents that some readers may consider dubious, like a brief for traditional Indian ayurvedic healing as an adjunct to Western medicine; and it sometimes gets facts wrong. (The 1918 Spanish flu did not kill “a third of the world’s population”—mortality was between 1% and 6%—and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson did not “support a herd immunity theory until he was hospitalized with the COVID-19 virus”; he imposed a national lockdown to prevent contagion on March 20, 2020, seven days before he tested positive.) The authors’ plan is something of a hodgepodge, with myriad moving parts to achieve many disparate goals, and it’s hazy on some important points, like the costs and funding mechanisms of the public SafetyNet hospitals. Still, Kapur and Chalil manage to steer clear of the dogmas of the right and left to offer a thoughtful, cogent analysis of the manifold problems in the U.S. health care establishment and a wealth of concrete proposals for dealing with them. A detailed and innovative blueprint for fixing what ails American medicine
“The book encapsulates the policy and technology realms lucidly. It presents a unique yet simple model that can be tailored to suit countries worldwide and better equip us all to deal with such pandemics in the future. A body of work that presents a ray of hope for the future, this book is a must read for healthcare professionals, policymakers, technopreneurs, leaders, administrators, and citizens alike.”
“Some books inspire you to think differently, but this book does more than just inspire. It offers a clear path to build a new future for healthcare. The lessons within are powerful and meant to change the direction of healthcare in this country and around the world. I invite you to explore, dream big, and get inspired by Beyond the COVID-19 Pandemic: Envisioning a Better World by Transforming the Future of Healthcare.”
“Ambassador Kapur and Dr. Chalil understand that providing affordable, high-quality healthcare is a global challenge. Their Grand Plan stretches beyond the borders of the U.S. and includes countries where the United Nations and the WHO have struggled to achieve their healthcare-related missions. The authors offer strategies that countries can use to better navigate COVID-19, as well as future pandemics and other natural disasters. One of the greatest lessons from the pandemic is that we need bold visions for a better healthcare future. Ambassador Kapur and Dr. Chalil’s Grand Plan offers us a roadmap. It’s worth your time to consider their ideas and proposals.”
“In Beyond the COVID-19 Pandemic, Envisioning a Better World by Transforming the Future of Healthcare, Ambassador Pradeep Kapur and Dr. Joseph Chalil, leaders in their respective fields, not only offer a comprehensive history of this pandemic, but a concrete roadmap to prevent a future catastrophe of this nature.

Most of all, they will take political will and a commitment to leadership.
“The timely release of the book, Beyond the COVID-19 Pandemic: Envisioning a Better World by Transforming the Future of Healthcare, by Ambassador Pradeep Kapur and Dr. Joseph Chalil, fills a huge vacuum.

“The health care system was broken before COVID-19. Kapur and Chalil offer solutions that stimulate an important conversation on where to go next with a different health care system that can withstand anything from manmade to natural disasters. These conversations must start now, and this book is a good down payment on a conversation that is long overdue but essential to dealing with everyday health care issues to once in a lifetime shocks such as pandemics.”

The authors have made a significant attempt to provide a fact-based analysis followed by a prescription on how to mend the deformed triangle for a better healthcare system of the future. The authors have provided a fact-based analysis of the various maladies impacting our healthcare system and have provided some grounded solutions based on well researched and extensive sampling of multiple healthcare systems in the world.

The authors delve into historical experiences and study diverse healthcare systems to offer an alternative for millions of people, not just in the U.S. but across the world. For the Indian healthcare ecosystem, the insights in this book add to the discussion on this critical issue. CII has been working on different parts of the healthcare system, including the manufacturing of critical care equipment and drugs, hospitals, and skill development. We value the ideas put forth by Ambassador Kapur and Dr. Chalil, which will help us to deepen our policy advocacy. An inspiring book for healthcare policymakers, professionals, and the medical community everywhere!”
“What struck me most was the concluding chapters, namely Empowering the Patient, Envisioning a New Global Order, and Strategic Planning for the Future. The authors have very succinctly laid out plans for the future healthcare system while recognizing that partisan politics and overcoming this issue will play a crucial role in achieving the goal.”
“Dr. Joseph Chalil, a veteran healthcare administrator and Ambassador Pradeep Kapur, a public policy expert, are precisely what was needed to explore how to handle the global unpreparedness of a pandemic as well as restructure our medical care in the United States. A reformed WHO to handle global pandemic is essential. In the United States, National licensing of medical doctors, medical insurance not tied to the workplace, and empowering citizens to be responsible for their health are all steps in the right direction.”
“While COVID-19 is still wreaking havoc across the globe, the authors have done yeoman service in producing futuristic work which looks at resolving issues caused not only by COVID-19 pandemic but by all such similar disasters occurring globally from time to time. While an advanced country like the U.S. has a large number of options and resources to survive through a pandemic or a disaster, the larger community of nations having huge populations and minuscule resources faces greater risk and tragedies. This is an issue which the authors have squarely chosen to address. It targets seven billion people living across the globe. Therein lies its intrinsic value.”
“Kudos to Pradeep Kapur and Joseph Chalil for their excellent endeavor in this direction. The book is an eye-opener. The scope is panoramic – from the genesis of COVID-19 to public policies and healthcare challenges in the U.S., moving on to a global perspective. Strategies to handle future pandemics from lessons learned is empowering. The out-of-the-box solutions to tackle the problem of cost and access offered in their Grand Plan, if implemented, will surely make for a better world. The book is mandatory reading, not only for those connected in any capacity with the healthcare industry but for anyone who is struggling to make sense of the turbulent times we are living in and hoping for better days to come!”
“This book, Beyond the COVID-19 Pandemic, Envisioning a Better World by Transforming the Future of Healthcare, very elegantly examines the elements of the issues, gaps in current systems and proposes a model for future health systems. While the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve and ongoing research into its impacts progress, this book provides an extensive basis for researchers and scientists, governments and corporations, academia, and public institutions to discover and transform the health systems for the future. The current problems with the health systems can be interpreted as a multi-billion-dollar opportunity for experts in every enterprise. The proposed solutions are, at best, a forerunner for a lot of work that lies ahead. Health being the most critical asset, value-added asset management, and continuous improvement is what the book aims for and is a “must-read” for everyone.”
“Pradeep Kapur and Joseph Chalil have written this very useful book after doing a lot of research about what has happened in the world due to COVID-19 and the previous pandemics. They propose a practical solution to improve the healthcare system, nay the disease-care system, that exists in the U.S. with Eisenhower’s highway network infrastructure as a model. Their solution is futuristic but practical, and useful, but compassionate.”
“While the public struggles to free themselves from the clutches of the virus and eagerly yearning to return to their normal life, the authors Pradeep Kapur and Joseph Chalil present an insightful diagnosis of the national healthcare system that has wide holes for future disasters to occur. The authors’ presentation style is easy for the reader to grasp otherwise complicated issues. The narration shows the communication capabilities and technical knowledge of a technologist and eminent diplomat and the deep knowledge and keen insights of an accomplished healthcare professional. They present strategic goals which the political leaders, business managers, doctors, nurses, technologists, and other stakeholders in the healthcare arena can use as a template to build a comprehensive national program complemented by policies and laws that national leaders can bequeath a robust healthcare system for the nation. The authors have presented a book that is likely to become a must read for all stakeholders in the healthcare sector – that includes every family.”
“Beyond the COVID-19 Pandemic by Pradeep Kapur and Joseph Chalil is most topical. It is a well-researched narrative on how to handle such inevitable pandemics in the future. There are many lessons for all countries to learn, and the brilliance of putting together the major findings and solutions-driven recommendations, especially from the United States, is remarkable. They have critiqued the health systems locally to global response institutions like the WHO. Public health Institutions the world over need to reinvent themselves. This book makes you believe that a better world is possible. A compelling book – a must read for all political actors.”
“The thought that the amalgamation of science, medicine, and technology will enable each one of us to become “CEO of our own health” is in itself exciting and empowering. That is precisely the vision described in the book, Beyond the COVID-19 Pandemic: Envisioning a Better World by Transforming the Future of Healthcare, wherein Ambassador Pradeep Kapur and Dr. Joseph Chalil bring their unique perspectives on global policy and healthcare. Also commendable is the attempt to bring together different methodologies for healthcare from around the world, for example, the deep insights into Western Medicine being in harmony with Eastern Medicine in India. These conversations must urgently commence, and this book is a pathbreaking step in that direction.”
“This book by Pradeep and Joseph present strong, decisive measures to ensure that we are better prepared when faced with a healthcare crisis of this magnitude in the future. As the authors point out, technological advances in healthcare will be a huge value addition in patient management, including quicker consultations, data-driven patient care, a better delivery network of drugs, and the deeper reach of national healthcare infrastructure. While this book is a ‘must-read’ for all in the healthcare space, I recommend everyone to pick up this book to understand the potential positive future of healthcare globally!”
“Our experience so far has made it amply clear that a nation’s very progress can be in jeopardy if one is not able to secure the basic health of the population; and therefore, towards achieving this vital mission, the book written by Pradeep Kapur and Joseph Chalil could not have come at a more appropriate time. My compliments to both of them for such a well-researched and insightful book which can be a ‘golden’ guide for all nations of the world to meet the challenges in setting up a comprehensive and effective health care system for their people in the years ahead.”
“This book will undoubtedly pave the way towards a better understanding of the challenges in the healthcare system and the planning of a future roadmap in healthcare. I wish grand success for the book and hope that the real message shall reach the stakeholders and the world march toward a better and healthier society.”
“This book is brilliant, timely and most of all thought provoking for creating a new understanding going forward with health care. You both have done a great service in starting a new narrative for post COVID. The interesting thing is there is no post COVID because if it isn’t COVID it will be something else that we will need to cover. This book provides a blueprint to move forward to include everyone fairly, efficiently and comprehensively. Congratulations on taking a bold stand.”
“Ambassador Pradeep Kapur and Dr Chalil must be complimented for their agility in writing this informative book about the most important topic in the minds of every leader in every city and town of our planet. Their insights on the nature of the system wide problems, fresh ideas to simplify existing methods of health care delivery , usage of new technology to leverage AI, removing obstacles including those related to regulatory challenges- are all both timely and much needed. This book will help both experts and Administrators in ‘teaching revolution to the ruling class’ in this crucial area to serve the wellbeing of all”
