title: Neurology and the new health care policies.
abstract: The Author discusses some aspects of the Health Care systems in developed countries, and analyzes the reasons for the failure of recent reform programs to provide good quality service at a reasonable price. While not condemning business-style management completely, the Author points out how, in the neurological field too, under the control of physicians, biomedical research and innovation with inter-departmental collaboration can be managed according to specific aims, so as to prevent much costly and wasteful diagnostic and therapeutic practice, thus improving service quality while reducing hospital running costs.
