Experts put health issues firmly in the spotlight

Health-related issues have become a key focus at the Annual Meeting of the New Champions of the World Economic Forum, widely known as Summer Davos, in the northeastern port city of Dalian.

The Internet, data science and advanced medicines highlighting genomics are coming together to transform healthcare practices and the industry landscape and personal health management, said Francis S. Collins, director of the National Institute of Health and co-chair of the event.

"Healthy people have more creativity and thus help fuel economic growth," he said.
