The YouTube channel of the Royal European Academy of Doctors-Barcelona 1914 (RAED) already has the video summary, as well as the full video, of the act of admission as a corresponding academician of María Asunción Peiré, doctor in Medicine and Surgery, which was held in Barcelona on May 22nd. The recipient read the admission speech “Farmacología pediátrica: pasado, presente y perspectivas de futuro” (Paediatric pharmacology: past, present and future perspectives), in which she reviewed the main concepts and peculiarities of paediatric pharmacology, briefly reviewed its history, with its milestones and therapeutic failures, and stopped in the challenges and future perspectives, which will only come to fruition -she assured- with the involvement of the administrations and a specific and rigorous training of its specialists. On behalf of the corporation answered the full academician Pere Gascón.
A firm defender of a universal medicine and pharmacology, the new academician placed special emphasis on the responsibility of the pharmaceutical industry, which beyond its obligation to comply with regulations and legal framework should focus its efforts on developing products aimed at a sector of the vulnerable population that economically may not be the most profitable.
