Programme

Medicine is moving forward at breakneck speed, and technological progress is not far behind. Great strides have been made in organ transplantation. New technologies allow us to carry out comprehensive health diagnostics and perform operations using lasers. Medicines are being improved and new drugs are being invented. Yet the number of cardiovascular diseases continues to skyrocket, and obesity and anorexia have become serious problems. Entirely new diseases have appeared, the consequences of which we still do not fully understand. The right of every person to health care and medical treatment is a universally recognized norm of international law. And the conditions for ensuring good health exist: favourable working conditions, high-quality nutritious foods, safe and affordable medicines, and professional medical care. But is there a difference between the right to health and the freedom to receive medical care? What is the best course of action: to create a healthy population or continue to treat the sick? Is it possible to reallocate resources so that greater amounts go towards promoting health than to fighting disease? How can we all become ‘healthier’ in the new world? Is it even possible?
