Promote transversal synergies capable of generating a significant impact for the country's economic, social and sustainable development by exploiting the resources of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan. This is what emerged from the paper “One Health in all policies – The role of the supply chains. Innovation and partnership for health and the economic and social future of the country". De Gasperi Foundation in collaboration with Phillip Morris Italy.
The pandemic has accelerated some processes and paths that have already begun, highlighting some structural weaknesses. But the central question for the Foundation is: “How do they combine health e economical progress? Health and innovation? And what impact can they have on the country system?”. The Foundation's idea is to enhance and integrate existing supply chains, giving them the opportunity to develop further and, through the multiplier effect, generate additional supply chains capable of guaranteeing economic development.
In this sense, it is necessary to promote transversal synergies by exploiting the leverage of the Pnrr, with integrated and sustainable actions linked to the main Italian supply chains of health, agri-food, mobility and sustainable transport. According to the paper, these are the supply chains that can be characterized as an industrial fabric on which to build the basis for the sustainable and social development of the country system. Furthermore, the document identifies some actions to implement development policies aimed at integrated supply chains, in order to generate economic, social and health impact value in a perspective One Health, which aims to combine the person and well-being with economic development, social protection and innovation. Because health is global, planetary and affects not only man and his well-being, but also that of the entire ecosystem.
A series of actions are needed to enable rapid evolution towards an integrated system, centered on the need for assistance and care of the person, flexible to changes in health demand, in which clinical processes, prevention, lifestyles, nutrition and environmental sustainability are connected and interconnected.
Again according to the document, there is a need for a strategic and programmatic vision: cohesive reasoning of vision and strategy that must be integrated but above all implemented. There is also a need for investment innovation, especially in the country's digital infrastructure. Need a new one public-private partnerships, where the public performs its planning and control function and the private sector its role in innovation and development. Fundamental the human capital: skills and research must be valued and developed. The Hon. Angela Ianaro, Social Affairs Commission, Chamber of Deputies: "Research cannot be ignored".
We need to develop a policy for companies that innovate. But first of all we need to maintain a dialogue between all the actors involved so that we can achieve sustainable economic development in terms of health.
And precisely in the light of the relevant discussions at European and international level, such as the Pnrr or the report of the Beca commission of the European Parliament, emerges "the importance of promoting a dialogue between the parties representing the Italian system both at national and European level, involving all political forces, without prejudicial positions that prevent confrontation, with the aim of therefore developing a new public-private alliance capable of promoting models and partnerships that enhance the specificities of individual sectors and sectors". As pointed out by the Hon. Pietro Fiocchi, MEP.
