EDITOR ’ S COMMENT WITH THE END OF 2015 coming upon us , it ’ s time to take a look back at the year that was .
The great Chinese philosopher Confucius once said , “ There are three methods to gaining wisdom . The first is reflection , which is the highest . The second is limitation , which is the easiest . The third is experience , which is the bitterest .”
I love this quote because it highlights the importance of reflection . Without looking back at where you were , it ’ s impossible to truly understand where you are . It ’ s all about the journey !
Remember the panic expressed around the world when the Ebola outbreak was headline news earlier this year ? While it may not be front-page news of every media outlet today in December , we can ’ t just move on and forget it never happened . Thousands of people are still struggling in its aftermath .
Although the nation has been Ebola-free since September , communities in Liberia are planting trees as a way to honor over 4,800 people who recently died from the epidemic . The remains of Ebola victims are still very contagious , forcing some corpses to be placed in unmarked graves .
So in this final edition of Healthcare Global for 2015 , we ’ ll take a look back at the success strategies from some of the industry ’ s top companies , examine the best of the best from our top-10 lists throughout the past 12 months , and reflect on the top stories we featured from this year .
So sit back , relax and enjoy this issue as you celebrate the New Year !
