The 14th annual DIA EuroMeeting is based on the premise that in the 21st Century only a relatively small proportion of all diseases can be adequately treated, nevermind cured. At a fundamental level there is a lack of understanding of the mechanism of disease - particularly the genetic basis of disease and its implications for rational drug treatment.
Of equal concern is that only a small proportion of all patients have access to safe medicinal products at affordable prices. The availability of safe and effective medicines is a real issue in third world countries where for many patients the cost of diagnosis and treatment are beyond their means. This leads to counterfeit and often dangerous substitutes being sold in those countries. Where treatments are available there is often a lack of clear information on the products and their rational use.
Regulatory authorities, government health departments and medical insurance companies add their own particular and specific hurdles to the early availability of effective treatments.
