The Great Debate
City versus Country – does more money and resources for the cities mean better healthcare for everybody?
As always, we’ll see out the Showcase with The Great Debate. Known to entertain more than inform, this year’s debate takes a slightly controversial twist asking the question: “City versus Country – does more money and resources for the cities mean better healthcare for everybody?”
