Precision Medicine in Europe – Forging a Common Vision

Abstract

Touch MEdical MEdia Abstract The prospect of achieving truly personalised medicine (or precision medicine) has raised patients’ hopes and piqued researchers’ curiosity, prompting the development of new -omics fields and attracting interest from the health technology industry. However, to ensure that new advances are incorporated equitably without diverting scarce resources from essential services and underserved populations, European institutions must forge a common policy that balances investments with returns and competition with coordination.
