This session is an invitation and call to action to leaders, practitioners, industry representatives, and health advocates to collaborate and transform the future of health for their countries. By sharing best practices and forging opportunities for collaboration between different regions, we can work toward creating a more equitable global landscape in the field of genomics and precision health. This approach allows for the dissemination of advanced research and technologies, and clinical insights across borders, ensuring the Global North and South can benefit from these advancements. Collaborative efforts can help bridge gaps in healthcare access and quality, ultimately shaping improved health outcomes across the globe. This is especially crucial for developing nations, where such advancements can significantly enhance healthcare delivery, address existing health challenges, and contribute to improved overall public health. By working together, we can ensure that the benefits of genomics and precision health are not limited to wealthier nations but are shared more broadly, leading to more inclusive and effective healthcare solutions globally.
