• Frustrated patients deserve better healthcare strategies
  

  In these times of super science and breakthroughs in genomics, there has never been a better opportunity to give the right treatment to the right patient at the right time, writes European Alliance for Personalised Medicine Executive Director Denis Horgan.

Therefore, it was surely a little surprising that healthcare for the nation’s more-than 300 million citizens was barely touched upon in the three feisty debates leading up to this week’s elec-tion.
