Abstract:
Precision Medicine (PM) is a transformative clinical medicine strategy that aims to revolutionize healthcare by leveraging biological information and biomarkers. In the context of maternal and neonatal health, PM enables personalized care from preconception through the postnatal period. Qatar has emerged as a key player in PM research, with dedicated programs driving advancements and translating cutting-edge research into clinical applications. This article delves into neonatal and maternal health in Qatar, emphasizing PM programs and initiatives that have been implemented. It also features noteworthy clinical cases that demonstrate the effectiveness of precision interventions. Furthermore, the article highlights the role of pharmacogenomics in addressing various maternal health conditions. The review further explores potential advancements in the application of PM in maternal and neonatal healthcare in Qatar.
