00:00The European Commission and the European Union have made a huge effort to invest in research and health policy,
00:10providing member countries with protocols, guidelines, but also many funds to move forward, for example, on prevention, screenings and vaccinations.
00:19Now it is the responsibility of the member countries to try to develop a governance that accelerates the transfer of research results to patients
00:28and to allow the resilience of health services in the face of these international policies that are currently profoundly altering the balance.
00:38So Italy is certainly in a good position in terms of potential, but it has to make a move.
00:44Yes, because viruses and bacteria have no boundaries, especially when they are as contagious as measles.
00:49It was only a matter of time, unfortunately the first death after 10 years, in a country that had been declared free from measles in 2000.
00:57And this is thanks to vaccination. It is clear that sooner or later, when you do not vaccinate, viruses will be seen again.
01:03Then it will be the turn of poliomyelitis, diphtheria bacteria, we are not talking about pertussis, rosacea.
01:09So it is clear that when there are problems, you have to go back to science, you have to go back to asking for support from doctors and scientists.
01:16But unfortunately you do it when you have had losses, in this case when a child died.
01:20And this we must not avoid. In Europe we are in a different situation.
01:24We still value science in an important way for decision-making.
01:28We hope and hope to continue like this.
