Political positions
The Party for Health Research is a single-issue political party in Germany founded in 2015 with the goal of accelerating the development of effective drugs to counter age-related diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer's disease, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, macular degeneration, arthrosis, osteoporosis, and Parkinson disease.
The party seeks to increase the number and size of pertinent research facilities, and to expand education and training of professionals in those fields.
