Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Proposed Appointment of Chief Medical Officer to a Role at a Higher Education Institution: Discussion
Dr. Tony Holohan:
Yes. To collaborate with those as one country as opposed to it always being a series of different institutions and maybe making the whole environment in this country a place in which the testing and bringing to proof-of-concept of those becomes easier, in a way that is appropriate of course, there probably are significant opportunities here. That would enable the translation into impact of many of these kinds of things at a much earlier stage. There is a huge opportunity given the presence of those and the fact that this is a small country and we have a singular health system. We have a number of universities and if we are able to build that kind of collaboration around those kinds of opportunities, we would do great things-----
