Medical Sciences promote the prevention and treatment of the disease, but also the maintenance and well-being of human health. Recognizing that good health and occupational literacy of citizens contributes significantly to the economic development of any country, it is the responsibility of universities to provide high-quality, scientific and humanistic education and to provide fundamental support for the development of new technologies and clinical approaches that present, enable and monitor solutions. It is also the function of university institutes to alert health regulators to the need to implement these solutions always in a humane and inclusive way.
