Strategic objectives
PHG Foundation is an international, independent charity that works with partners to achieve better health through the responsible and evidence-based application of biomedical science. Our strategic objectives are:
- To identify the potential of biomedical science to benefit health and disseminate that knowledge for public benefit
- To contribute to the integration of biomedical science into mainstream medicine and health services
- To foster a social and regulatory environment receptive to the application of biomedical research for health
- To promote the development of systems and policies for the proper evaluation of new technologies that arise from biomedical research
- To promote and provide education and training to support the responsible and effective application of biomedical science for health
We believe that...
- The most important thing is the health of people and populations
- Genome-based research will continue to have a significant impact on medicine and must be integrated with public health practice
- Policy and regulation should support science and must demonstrate a fair balance between the rights of the individual and the needs of society as a whole
- Policy and healthcare decisions must be based on good science, sound evidence and careful understanding of the human issues
- Scientific advances should be accessible to all countries and populations and efforts should be made to minimise global inequities
