Continued importance in translation from research to health policy in China

J Transl Med. 2016 Sep 20:14:272. doi: 10.1186/s12967-016-1021-7.

Abstract

Precision Medicine may be considered as another strategic effort of "from-bench-to-beside" translation. In order to have a maximal impact on population health, the translation must go further. A new translational medicine paradigm is proposed to improve the clarity of conceptual pathways and facilitate translation from research to health policy. The latter is particularly important in low- and middle-income countries where the need to improve population health is immediate and immense.

Keywords: Health policy; Precision medicine; Research; Translation.
