This report, written by The Economist Intelligence Unit and sponsored by RB, explores the concept of self-care and its importance in managing health and wellbeing. The report identifies five drivers of self-care, including health literacy, healthcare professionals and patient groups, healthcare systems, medication, and technology. The report also examines self-care approaches in the US, Europe, and BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa). The authors conclude that there is room for improvement in self-care policies and suggest that policymakers should focus on creating a supportive environment for self-care and promoting its adoption.
