On Nov 13, Future Health 2035 will bring specialists together on genetic disorders prevention, screening and genomic medicine, with a focus on costly conditions such as SMA and DMD.
Future Health 2035, a one-day summit, is scheduled for Nov 13.
Strive Eradication of Disability Foundation is organising it with the Pakistan Poverty Alleviation Fund.
The agenda centres on genetic screening, early detection and genomic medicine in Pakistan’s health system.
