‘Healthy Life’ Programme
Panel session
Pavilion F, Healthy Life Area

The critical growth rate of diabetes and high risks of complications leading to disability and premature death require taking significant measures at the state level. One of the key objectives is ensuring that innovative treatment is available to the patients. Today, innovative sugar-lowering combination drugs are as revolutionary in treating type 2 diabetes as insulin was a hundred years ago. The issues of technological development, support and stimulus of research and development, clinical research and inclusion of new treatment schemas in clinical recommendations, and improvement of availability of modern drugs are quite critical and require federal support. Ensuring quick access to innovative treatment by the public is, among others, a matter of drug supply financing, expanding lists of benefits, creating patient registers, etc. In the long run, such measures will lead the practice of innovative drug supply to principles of individual approach to each diabetes patient.
