The 21st century Medicine: the Role of Technology evolution and R&D
towards innovative personalized healthcare solutions
Scientific advancements outline a path towards ‘personalized medicine, a targeted approach to the
prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease based on an individual’s specific genetic profile. In
fact, in recent years therapeutic alternatives based on the study of genetic profiles have been
developed, but use of genetic data to inform medical decisions is still lagging behind.

Eradication of a Disease in 21st century Europe: Romania Hep C case study
The growing availability of highly effective treatments for genotype 1 infection is limited by the cost
of new agents. One dimension of the discussion is related to the selection of treatment regimens. In
the case of patients with genotype 1 infection, this should take into consideration efficacy, duration
and adverse effects, the profile of the regimen, potential drug interactions, prior patient history and
the stage of the illness. For individual patients, the financial component represents an important
dimension to be considered.

Roundtable discussion
Healthcare Sector: Sustainability and Systemic Efficiency in the Pharma
Sector via HTA and Managed - Entry Arrangements
In Romania and the rest of Europe, healthcare budgets, both public and private, are coming under
increasing pressure due to demographical patterns and financial difficulties, while the medical needs
are growing and diversifying. This raises the problem of reforming the financing of the healthcare
sector in order to make it more sustainable and able to meet the challenges of an ageing population.
The goal is to achieve low costs and full consumer choice of providers and quality of care, for
instance by means of combining universal medical savings accounts with supplementary programs
to protect vulnerable patient categories.
