Observation
Staying in good health is about looking after what you have as well as thinking ahead. Speaking of which, join us soon at the new Monocle Café for an autumn pick-me-up.
Home visit
The origami roof of the Center for Cancer and Health suggests this is no ordinary hospital. Nord Architects Copenhagen has achieved a design leap by creating a leafy courtyard and comfortable, home-like interiors.
Aircraft procedure
Despite over 30 years in Australia’s public health sector, Greg Rochford experienced some turbulence when he became CEO of the country’s iconic Royal Flying Doctor Service. One year on, he’s gaining altitude.
Ultimate body fix
For a country that’s in need of more than a nip and tuck of its own, Spain is home to a clinic specialising in encouraging a perfectly balanced lifestyle. Monocle checks in.
Drug Wars
Health and pharmaceutical industries have no shortage of critics but there's an equally tricky battle to change consumers' perceptions once a product gets the green light. Monocle meets the creatives on the frontline.
Written diagnosis
‘The Lancet’ has existed for 189 years and is an institution in publishing. Monocle meets the staff of the British medical weekly that is authoritative and occasionally controversial.
What’s up doc
Real-life medical shows aren’t just for light entertainment. In Spain, people turn on the TV for health advice, and in Egypt, women tune in to learn about sex. Monocle meets the TV doctors.
Health of the city
Swimming on Bondi Beach, playing tennis in the jardins of Paris, running down the beach in Rio. Monocle picks five cities to call home if you want to stay healthy and trim.
Flying patients
Consumers are looking beyond their native borders for low-cost, quality healthcare. Monocle looks at the global hotspots attracting patients wanting anything from hi-tech surgery to a facelift, with a safari thrown in.
Road to recovery
Big-name French pharma was conspicuously absent at this year’s annual Pharmagora fair. But far from fading into obscurity, the Paris show has been looking to Francophone African markets and the lucrative bio-organic sector.
