Ahead of Rare Disease Day (28 February), four leading children s research institutions on three continents are joining forces to decipher paediatric illnesses, including rare diseases, and find better treatments.
The four paediatric hospitals Boston Children s Hospital; UCL Great Ormond Street Institute for Child Health and Great Ormond Street Hospital (London); the Murdoch Children s Research Institute with The Royal Children s Hospital (Melbourne); and The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) in Toronto are working together to evaluate genomic data, clinical data from patients, and scientific and medical expertise to accelerate discovery and therapeutic development.
The partnership, known as the International Precision Child Health Partnership (IPCHiP), is the first major global collaboration around genomics and child health. The founding partners anticipate that additional institutions will join the collaboration in the future.

The marriage of democracy and capitalism has been arguably the greatest force for good in history, giving the creativity and enterprise of talented individuals the freedom to generate value in which all of us can share. History also shows, however, that this system’s continued survival cannot be guaranteed.
Machines that process inputs into outputs are judged and compared according to the efficiency with which they convert the one into the other. A car that travels farther on the same amount of fuel than another car is, other factors being equal (road conditions, for instance, or weather), more efficient and therefore better by that measure than the other car. If we assume that the economy is a machine, then the same cause-and-effect sequence must apply. Greater efficiency drives growth.
