King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre (KFSHRC) in Saudi Arabia has introduced precision medicine services in its clinics, marking a significant advancement in personalised healthcare.
These services, launched within KFSHRC’s Family Medicine Clinics, are designed to enhance preventive medicine by developing precise treatment plans tailored to individual genetic codes and lifestyles, thereby improving health outcomes for patients and their families.
They represent a shift towards a more individualised approach to patient care, moving away from traditional generalised methods.
By analysing genetic codes and considering factors such as lifestyle, medical history, and familial genetic data, KFSHRC can now offer customised preventive and therapeutic plans.
This approach also facilitates early disease detection, a departure from the focus on treating advanced cases typically associated with specialised precision medicine services.
To support the launch, KFSHRC conducted several scientific workshops to educate its medical staff on the significance and practical application of precision medicine in primary healthcare.

By GlobalDataThese workshops emphasised the integration of genetic technologies into everyday medical practices, aiming to improve diagnostic precision and create treatments that are more closely aligned with individual patient needs.
This initiative underscores KFSHRC’s commitment to fostering healthcare innovation and reducing the incidence of genetic disorders. It also offers sustainable and integrated healthcare solutions that align with the primary care setting.
In November 2024, KFSHRC launched a virtual pathology service at its Madinah branch to enhance the diagnosis of cancer, inflammatory conditions, and microbiological causes in tissues.
The pathology platform enables pathologists to conduct evaluations and diagnoses remotely with increased accuracy.
