Mattarella, guerre dissennate e progetti militari sottraggono risorse alla medicina

President Sergio Mattarella emphasized the importance of global collaboration in research during the "Days of Research" celebration at the Quirinale. He noted that the COVID-19 pandemic showcased the effectiveness of international cooperation in quickly developing protective measures. However, he expressed concern over the diversion of resources due to wars and the emergence of new barriers that hinder international efforts to prevent future pandemics. He highlighted that the lessons learned from medical research, particularly in cancer treatment, reaffirm the centrality of human values in society.
