First International Forum on Medical Progress

Monte Carlo, 15-17 October, 1998

The Forum will give a prospective insight on new therapies for the future. It will allow the international medical community to foresee the therapeutic progress and its perspectives within its three dimensions: medical, scientific and industrial.

The goals of the "First International Forum on Medical Process" are:

  1. Modern medicine progress is based on two main axis: treatment and technology. Remote is the time when a doctor only had empirical tradition at his disposal to attempt and heal people. Diagnosis and weapons against disease became richer and are continuously improving, thanks to the work of clinicians and researchers and to the constant innovation of engineers and industrials.
  2. It seems crucial to try to analyse the great medical progress based on drug treatments, biological therapies and biomedical technologies of the future.
  3. The World Academy of Biomedical Technologies, which gathers doctors, scientists, engineers and industrials for a technological interface with world governments will organise the second day of the Forum.
  4. We would like to emphasise the importance of medical unity, which brings together practitioners from various medical, surgical and biological specialities, and remains the discipline that maintains health. One of the International Forum's goal is to insist on bringing together all the medical therapies around the only biological truth, which includes in its complexity, all of life's processes and disruptions.
  5. Long networking sessions are planned in order to enrich discussions and to eventually come up with powerful directions for the future. This first International Forum will be followed by others, whose goals are to sum up our knowledge and show how modern medicine can still benefit from all kinds of research for an improvement of human health.
  6. Finally, the economical aspect was not shortchanged. We are all aware of the dramatic rising cost of healthcare in most countries. A rationalisation of expenses is mandatory, but medical progress, which leads to a substantial increase in human life expectancy can only exist with a substantial financial investment for the improvement of diagnosis methods, creating new efficient drugs and technological innovation.
  7. Making medicine and health a priority for Governments should normally come from medical progress presentations, which is the theme of our First International Forum.
