How to better align demands and supplies?
What are the risks and benefits of predictive medicine based on personnal predispositions?
How to improve the effectiveness of 'recommendations for doctors'?

• What government response to the popularity of unconventional medicines ?

Given the risks and potentials associated with increased supplies and demands for non-conventional medicines, a government action seems necessary. On the one hand, it is necessary to ensure the safety of these techniques on the patient as well as supervising the practice and training of therapists. On the other hand, the State should organize the integration of these medicines in the health system where they can contribute, in addition to conventional care, to a more efficient health system. A dual objective that the Centre d'analyse stratégique transforms into five proposals.

To make them more accessible, especially to patients, and to encourage their further implementation, the CAS shares four proposals to change the format, content and support for dissemination of recommendations.
