Doha, Qatar: Qatar Foundation’s Qatar Precision Health Institute (QPHI) is leading the shift towards preventive healthcare. It empowers individuals with genomic information to make informed decisions about their health and well-being and helps them live longer and healthier lives.
An exhibition on QPHI yesterday highlighted how advancing precision health is expected to impact healthcare outcomes and overall well-being significantly.
It also showcased Qatar’s pioneering role as the first country in the region to establish a population-based genome program, reflecting its commitment to advancing genomic research and personalized healthcare.
The launch of QPHI marks a “new era of precision medicine,” said Dima Darwish, Head of Genomic Education, during a media tour of the exhibition at the Qatar National Convention Centre (QNCC).
Qatar Biobank (QBB) and the Qatar Genome Programme (QGP) have embarked on a journey over the past decade, laying the groundwork for QPHI.
