Medical genetics as a basis for personalized medicine in contemporary Ukraine

Aim: To systematize and comprehensively analyze scientific sources and research on integrating personalized medicine into the national healthcare system.

Materials and Methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted using PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus, focusing on data from the past 10 years (2014-2024). Articles in both English and Ukrainian were analyzed. Personalized approaches from the authors' own research were also included. The following methods were used: a systematic approach and bibliosemantic analysis.

Conclusions: However, for the implementation of personalized medicine in Ukraine, it is necessary to have awareness of the medical community about the possibilities of using molecular genetic profiling, competence to conduct risk assessment with the participation of several specialists, with the involvement of the patient in decision-making on treatment and diagnostic measures. The main tools for the widespread implementation of personalized medicine in Ukraine are qualified specialists, a wide network of molecular genetic diagnostics and pharmacogenetics laboratories, the development of competencies among healthcare providers and the development of personalized pharmacy. The expected result is the widespread implementation of diagnostic and treatment programs using personalized protocols based on the state of the individual patient's body at a specific time.
