The session focused on how Pharmacogenomics (PGx) and Nutrigenomics (NGx) are reshaping clinical decision-making, empowering individuals to make safer, more accurate choices regarding their medications, supplements, and long-term health management.

Our CEO, Dr. Rebecca Tay, and COO, Dr. Gew Soon Peng, presented practical case applications that demonstrated how genetic profiling can reduce adverse drug reactions, improve treatment efficacy, and support more personalised nutritional planning across a person’s lifespan. We were encouraged by the high level of engagement and the proactive steps taken by participants who registered for PRECISE Pharmacogenomics and Nutrigenomics assessments during the session. This seamless experience was made possible through the support of our esteemed panel partner, Royal Prima Hospital, who will be facilitating the referrals.

Precision Diagnostics extends our sincere appreciation to KanWil Kementerian Agama Sumut for the opportunity to collaborate, and to Royal Prima Hospital for supporting our shared commitment to advancing personalised healthcare within the community
