- Description
- Programme
Genomic Medicine is a promising new concept for dealing with challenges of health and health systems. With the launch of the International Consortium for Personalised Medicine, which brings together health research funders and policy‐making organizations, European countries aim to coordinate research and health policy to advance the implementation of personalized medicine
The problems and needs of the diagnosis of rare diseases and genetic and genomic studies in our country are:
1) ) At present, neither the National Health System in its entirety nor the health systems of the CCAA have comprehensive diagnostic centers genetic of high diagnostic capacity that can respond to national needs. This implies that each regional health system has to: a) face the cost of genetic studies deriving them abroad or to private centers; b) not doing so, maintaining waiting lists or replacing them by making studies of lower quality and higher cost, which fail to provide a diagnostic response to patients.
2) There is inequity in access to genetic / genomic diagnoses of patients and citizens depending on the health center, the region / autonomous community to which it belongs and the complexity of the hospitals they consult.
3) Each medium-sized hospital (and sometimes small, regional hospitals) is making unprofitable and expensive investments in the purchase of modern small-sized sequencing technologies, when optimization through the creation of comprehensive genomic diagnostic centers reduces costs and increases the diagnostic power of genetic tests using large, much more cost-effective devices.
4) The objectives of the European Horizon 2020 initiative are to guarantee the diagnosis of all genetic-based diseases and at least 200 treatments by the year 2020.
5) Diagnostic genetic tests are tests already included in the portfolio of services of the Ministry of Health (Order SSI / 2065/2014), but their implementation is slowed down partly due to the problems identified above.
