Details
The Healthcare Goals are intended to apply a Vaccine Taskforce-type approach by bringing together industry, academia, the third sector and the NHS to collaborate to make progress in these disease areas, by advancing early disease prevention, diagnosis, treatment, monitoring, and developing breakthrough products and technologies to save lives.
In 2022, we launched Healthcare Goals in the disease areas of dementia, cancer, mental health, obesity and addiction. In 2023, we appointed world-leading experts to be the Chairs of the Healthcare Goals to shape the direction and drive progress.
