The global landscape of health genomics is expanding rapidly, with an increasing number of national and international initiatives, many of which are targeted toward accelerating the clinical implementation of genomic technologies and services in the context of local health systems. This includes a range of entities with different levels of maturity, funding sources, and strategies that focus on research and clinical priorities to varying degrees. While there is no "one-size-fits-all" approach, analysis of national genomics programs helps to identify common priority areas, barriers, and enablers. Here, we synthesize the converging priorities of several national genomics programs to highlight the importance of progressing genomics research and clinical implementation on a national scale.
