Editorial Reviews

"I love the Tango metaphor that Verena introduces us to. We - all of the various stakeholders in health care - need to join in this new dance and contribute to a whole that is far greater - not far less - than the sum of its parts. We need to Tango." - Zeev Neuwirth, MD, Chief Clinical Executive at Atrium Health, Author of Reframing Healthcare, United States

"As a patient for many decades, I thoroughly and warmly welcome Dr Voelter's insightful and visionary drive for a much-needed reform in health care. She outlines what's needed for the future: moving from reactivity to proactivity through collaboration, trust, and empowerment. The book delivers tangible advice - backed by both science and personal experience - making it a must-read for anyone who is involved in health care in any capacity. Let's dance!" - Hanna Boëthius, Diabetes Patient Expert and Founder at the Low Carb Universe, Switzerland
