Advances in medical science mean that we are living longer and healthier lives than ever before. But the chances of contracting a serious illness might be higher than you think.
In the UK:
- someone has a heart attack every two minutes*
- 245,000 people are diagnosed with cancer each year**
- 30,000 - 40,000 people are living with spinal cord injury***
Of the 245,000 people diagnosed with cancer each year, over a third will still be alive in five years time. More and more, we are surviving serious illnesses that would once have proved fatal. However, this success creates its own set of difficulties - the cost of survival.
