Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Health care sciences are constantly and rapidly evolving. The 20th century saw extraordinary progress, with the development of antibiotics and vaccines that eradicated diseases such as smallpox and polio. Organ transplants, biotechnology, and drugs produced using bioengineered micro-organisms have successfully transitioned from the experimental setting to routine application in just a few years. In the 21st century, we have access to therapeutic strategies that were once unimaginable, largely thanks to developments in genetics, telecommunications, and artificial intelligence. At the same time, however, the transformation of society and the growing inequalities between countries and within countries make it crucial for us to understand how to make healthcare ethical and accessible.
What are the prospects for healthcare sciences? New ways of distributing medical knowledge and health resources, new health promotion policies, and new methods of scientific research and the application of these methods to technologies are being discussed and are quickly becoming the standard to which to aspire.
Dr. Nicola Magnavita
Guest Editor
