These have been working with the Department of Service Delivery and\nSafety, with a broad mix of scientific expertise and practical experience in\nhuman genomics, genetics, ethics, and public health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Genomics is a rapidly progressing area in health care. Numerous\nresearchers are involved in generating scientific evidence and new technologies\nare being developed with the aim of improving both disease prevention and\ntreatment. This cutting edge knowledge and progress made by genomic scientists\nover the past few years should benefit not only high-income countries but all\npopulations in need.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WHO has published key documents on genetic diseases and genomics and the\nWorld Health Assembly has adopted four important resolutions such as&nbsp;:\nGenomics and World Health (2004), Sickle-cell anaemia (2006), Thalassemia and\nother haemoglobinopathies (2006), Birth defects (2010). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this meeting, the experts shared on-going work in the different regions,\nset priorities in particular of LMICs, provided input that may inform the\ndevelopment of a WHO roadmap on genetics and genomics. They also reviewed a\ndraft of a basic on-line course on genetics and genomics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>References : <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.who.int\/genomics\/expert-meeting-2019\/en\/index1.html\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttp:\/\/origin.who.int\/genomics\/about\/en\/\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The who expert meeting on Genomics and Genetic Disorders, was held from 8 to 11 April 2019, at the University of Pretoria, South Africa.
