What have we taken for granted, what have we learned, and what should we try to achieve in the future?
The debate on 2 December had the title N氓r det virkelig gjelder - hva kan vi l忙re av pandemien om handlekraft og b忙rekraft? ("When it really matters - What can the pandemic teach us about the power of action and sustainability?")
Discussion centred on the power of action and wishful thinking, and what it takes to make the necessary decisions that deviate from the usual routine. What does it take for a crisis to be big enough to make the impossible possible? Can lessons from the pandemic be used to develop more sustainable health services. For example, is it possible to cut back on unnecessary treatment and place greater emphasis on combating harmful conditions in society?
