My Predictions for 2026, 4, Health

  1. GLP-1 drugs (Ozempic family) will continue to transform obesity treatment but the consequences (such as the impact on facial appearance) will become more apparent.
  2. Mental health treatment will continue to be inadequate for the soaring demand.
  3. Long COVID will still be affecting millions but will have fallen out of public consciousness. Nobody wants to talk about covid.
  4. Healthcare systems in many countries will be in visible crisis.
  5. Despite all the talk no country is any better prepared for the next pandemic.
