【 摘 要 】

When students lose hope, we're in trouble.I recently had the pleasure of visiting a university where I met with a group of smart, inquisitive and engaged students. Our conversation touched on many topics, but one of their questions has stayed with me. We were talking about a policy direction recently confirmed by government. The specifics don't matter – suffice it to say that it's a direction with broad public support but one that will be complex to implement, as so many meaningful health policies are.I was asked whether I thought that it was possible for the change to be made within 5–7 years. Many were skeptical. They had been told – or in some cases personally experienced – that change does not happen that quickly in the health sector.It's true that it doesn't always. But it can, and it should, and it must.
