Quantum technologies could be a game changer in the digital transformation of healthcare. By enabling much faster and more complex data analysis, they could open the door to accelerated discovery and development of novel therapeutics, improved diagnostics and treatments including for rare and complex diseases, true personalised medicine, and better data-driven health policy planning.

Cé gur glacadh céimeanna le céad bliain anuas chun deiseanna san eolaíocht a fheabhsú do mhná agus do chailíní ar fud an domhain, tá go leor fós le déanamh. Mar gheall ar an ngéarchéim sláinte, tá comhionannais i mbaol agus tá an dul chun cinn ag moilliú in go leor réimsí. Déanann an podchraoladh seo ceiliúradh ar Lá Idirnáisiúnta na mBan agus na gCailíní san Eolaíocht. Féachann sé ar an gcaoi ar chuidigh mná sa chomhrac i gcoinne phaindéim COVID-19, agus féachann sé freisin ar an gcaoi arb iad mná is mó a bhí thíos leis an ngéarchéim.

The Treaty of Lisbon has enhanced the importance of health policy, stipulating that ‘a high level of human health protection shall be ensured in the definition and implementation of all Community policies and activities’. This objective is to be achieved through Community support to Member States and by fostering cooperation. 
Primary responsibility for health protection and, in particular, the healthcare systems continues to lie with the Member States. However, the EU has an important role to play in improving public health, preventing and managing diseases, mitigating sources of danger to human health, and harmonising health strategies between Member States. The EU has successfully implemented a comprehensive policy, through the Health Strategy ‘Health for Growth’ and its action programme (2014-2020) and a body of secondary legislation.

Nocht coróinvíreas an chaoi a raibh tíortha ar fud an domhain neamhullmhaithe le do phaindéim dhomhanda. Leis an gclár nua EU4Health, ba mhaith le Parlaimint na hEorpa cuidiú chun córais cúraim sláinte na hEorpa a dhéanamh níos athléimní agus níos ullmhaithe do ghéarchéimeanna sláinte sa todhchaí.

Breithneoidh an Pharlaimint an clár nua EU4Health, pléifidh sí sceimhlitheoireacht agus saoirse cainte agus leagfaidh sí amach a tosaíochtaí do bhuiséad 2021. Ina theannta sin, speisialtachtaí réigiúnacha na hEorpa a chosaint níos fearr agus leas-uachtarán nua. Iad sin go léir agus tuilleadh ag teacht aníos sa seisiún iomlánach.

Ag teacht aníos sa Bhruiséil – freagairt an AE ar an gcoróinvíreas, tacaíocht do chúram sláinte, cosaint shibhialta agus daoine faoi mhíbhuntáiste
