Abstract

Genomic applications in precision medicine and healthcare are now globally recognised with huge public and private investments. The United Kingdom (UK)-India Genomic Medicine Alliance (UKIGMA)offers a unique opportunity for clinicians and scientists from UK and India, to work together and develop comprehensive genomic medicine and healthcare programmes through a series of genomic education and training courses, raising awareness on genomic applications for health and supporting the necessary infrastructure build-up for the benefit of the vastly heterogeneous people of India and South Asia.
