It is widely thought that lifespans are increasing globally. However, life expectancy has begun to stagnate in the UK, and is falling in more than 50 countries including the USA. Lifespan stagnation or decrease is a consequence of socioeconomic inequalities, lifestyle factors, and the COVID-19 pandemic. In the UK, the National Health Service spends vast sums treating chronic diseases; by some estimates, 40% of its costs go to treating preventable conditions. UK citizens spend a fifth of their lives in poor health, and there is a 20-year difference in healthy life expectancy between the richest and the poorest, a difference that is widening, not narrowing. Together with unprecedented economic uncertainty, geopolitical strife, and postpandemic recovery challenges, this burden of ill health is having a substantial impact on economic productivity and resilience.Health-care systems based only on response to illness are no longer affordable, and economies need a more productive workforce. The current model, which focuses on reactive sick-care alone, must be shifted to a new one based on proactive prevention, with the ever-growing recognition that the wealth of nations is not possible without the health of populations. In response to this reality, leaders are coming together for a Quantum Healthy Longevity Innovation Mission that aims to structurally leverage the value of existing assets, reduce duplication and waste in funding allocation, and prioritise effective coordination of key organisations1 and resources worldwide (including longevity education and research). We need to radically reimagine short-term, medium-term, and long-term responses at a global, societal, and individual level and significantly invest in an interdependent ecosystem for science and innovation to accelerate healthy longevity at quantum scale and pace.
