Future Medicine Round Table

The Covid-outbreak in the end of 2019 took the world by surprise. After almost two years into the pandemic, science has made great progress and politicians have made valuable experiences concerning the management of the global crisis. But can we use the knowledge we acquired if a similar scenario strikes again?

The great success of the event-series “Future Medicine Science Match”, hosted by Berlin’s leading Newspaper Der Tagesspiegel and the Berlin Institute of Health at Charité (BIH) in the past years inspired the organizers to hold it once again. Due to the circumstances, this year the event will run as a virtual round table.

Look forward to discuss the important questions with leading healthcare and medicine experts:

• Have we already learned enough about the pandemic?
• Can the learnings regarding effective therapies and preventive measures be applied for another pandemic? 
• What are the side effects of the pandemic on the health system (e.g. delay of diagnosis and therapies of other diseases like cancer, cardiovascular diseases or chronical illnesses)?
• Are science and politics prepared for the next pandemic?
