Abstract
Over the past two decades, awareness has grown about the wide-ranging applications of genomic technologies in human health and beyond.1 This awareness was further heightened during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, which underscored the critical role of genomics while revealing global disparities in its adoption and benefit sharing. Recognising the potential of genomics and its associated implementation challenges, the World Health Organization (WHO) Science Council produced its inaugural report2 in 2022, outlining a roadmap to accelerate access to genomic technologies and their applications, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
