Abstract

Precision medicine is an approach to disease prevention and treatment that aims at maximizing therapeutic effectiveness by analysing the genetic, environmental and lifestyle differences in an individual. Pharmacogenomics is an important part of precision medicine. Globally, precision medicine is tried for the prevention and treatment of various diseases but cancer appears to be the most invested entity. But most significant fact is that not just the non-communicable chronic diseases but precision medicine has been tried in the COVID-19 pandemic as well. The concept of precision medicine requires collaboration between the various stakeholders. This includes providers or the patients, health care workers, diagnostic partners, payers, regulatory bodies and IT partners. Currently, the concept of Precision medicine in India is in the early adoption stage.
