One of the great intellectual and human delights of the practice of medicine is that with every patient – with every case – the physician, the surgeon and the nurse enter a «New Frontier.» The language of healthcare and the goals of healthcare are fundamentally the same from society to society, while at the same time every individual is different. It is certain that for the innovator at the laboratory bench every day also presents a desired «New Frontier». It is to be hoped that for the social scientist, for the healthcare economist, and for the leaders of healthcare corporations, new frontiers are always being sought.
In this Closing Plenary Session the Forum will present healthcare leaders from industry, science, philanthropy, and international affairs who will give their views on the coming greater «New Frontiers of Healthcare». The net result of these discussions cannot fail to demonstrate the enormous complexity of the healthcare universe. But they also indicate, one might argue, the beautiful simplicity of the goals of healthcare, even if their implementation is not straightforward. It is true as the Italian poet of the early nineteenth century Giacomo Leopardi observed, the more things change, the more they stay the same. Leopardi was probably a pessimist. In healthcare, this must be an expression of optimism, for a human being is always a human being, and a sick human being must always be made better. |
