Chrissy Buteas, President and CEO of the HealthCare Institute of New Jersey, has commented on the release of the Make America Healthy Again report. She emphasized New Jersey's longstanding role in advancing global medical innovation.
Buteas stated, “The sole mission of New Jersey’s life sciences is to help American patients and those around the world live longer, with greater health, with less pain and with more independence. As the Medicine Chest of the World, our state has been a global leader in medical innovation for nearly 150 years. We have cured hepatitis C, created vaccines against cervical cancer, delayed the onset of Alzheimer’s, discovered revolutionary and life-saving treatments for sickle cell disease, cystic fibrosis and rare conditions, and are finding new, cutting-edge ways to treat cancers every day.”
She further highlighted the commitment of New Jersey's biopharmaceutical sector: “The biopharmaceutical, medical technology and diagnostics community remains a cornerstone of humanity’s fight against disease, infections and other health conditions,” she said. Buteas expressed readiness to collaborate with various stakeholders to continue developing essential treatments.
