The Party for Health Research^[2] (German: Partei für Gesundheitsforschung) is a political party in Germany that seeks to accelerate the development of effective drugs to counter age-related diseases.

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.^[3]

The party seeks to increase the number and size of pertinent research facilities, and to expand education and training of professionals in those fields.^[4] The party also strives to raise public interest in medical research in order to cause large established parties to focus more on this subject.
