(Adnkronos) – “The life sciences supply chain, more than ever today, proves to be a fundamental driver for guiding our Region on a path of health sustainability and the ability to guarantee a response to the health needs of the population, leveraging public components and private ones that characterize our economic and healthcare model”. This was said by Gabriele Pelissero, president of the Lombardy Life Sciences Cluster, commenting on the data of the report presented today at the ‘Milan Life Science Forum 2024’, an annual event dedicated to the life sciences promoted by the association in partnership with the Lombardy Life Sciences Cluster. “Today in Lombardy the percentage of citizens with chronic conditions who live in good health is higher than the national average: 50.9% in the region vs 44.7% at a national level – underlines Pelissero – Lombardy today finds itself faced with an important challenge. On the one hand, that of guaranteeing sustainability and resources for the regional health service to respond to increasingly emerging health needs, also in light of demographic change, and on the other the ability to compete with the regions of Europe on ability to attract funds Europeans, private investments, skills and developing patents and advanced technologies. The cluster, renewed in its mission, intends to strengthen its ability to gather system needs and trends, supporting the Region in building a new vision for research, health and sciences. of life. A clear but very ambitious objective, which requires joint work between the Region, clusters, citizens and the health ecosystem”.[email protected] (Web Info)
