Abstract

Precision medicine is expected to herald a new era of customised preventive care and treatment solutions. Like many other countries, Singapore is exploring ways in which precision medicine can improve the lives of patients. However, at the same time, it is also anticipated that any progress of precision medicine will significantly disrupt abiding by healthcare system structures and challenge existing regulatory processes. To prevent this, our society needs to adapt quickly to ensure that adequate and effective controls are in place to protect patients and safeguard their welfare. What are the challenges that precision medicine has created in other countries and what are the strategies that these countries have adopted to overcome these challenges? How can these lessons be applied in Singapore?
