WHS Science & Industry Circle: Successful Strategy Meeting

How can we accelerate translation from basic research to bedside to populations? The WHS Science & Industry Circle is working to find answers to questions like this. In its latest strategy meeting, three thematic pillars were outlined: that world health is demand-driven, that healthcare quality should be provided at levels that are high, assured and consistent, and that healthcare provision should aim at low cost and low complexity.

These convictions are being translated into active working groups on topics like:

1: Translation: Science – Technology – Products
2: High Tech, Low Complexity: Cost-Effective Medical Technologies & Diagnostics
3: Digital Health
4: Strategies for Sustainable Strengthening of Health Systems
5: Public Private Partnerships in Life Science Research

The WHS Science & Industry Circle is open to stakeholders from the international health sector, as well as those from science, research and technology transfer organizations. If you are interested in joining, please don’t hesitate to get in touch >>>
