Successful Practices and Challenges in the Development of Precision Medicine in Sweden
Differences in policies and practices in the healthcare sector among various countries are driven by multifaceted factors such as culture,social structure,economic conditions and political systems.Despite varying national circumstances,the global shared objective remains consistent,that is to advance the healthcare sector to offer improved medical care and treatment solutions,cater exten-sively to patients'needs.International Consortium for Personalized Medicine(ICPerMed)engages in global collaborations aiming at fos-tering and supporting the development and application of personalized medicine.As a key member of ICPerMed,Sweden has showcased significant potential in the field of personalized and precision medicine.Hence,this study aims to review the establishment background,implementation processes,and existing issues within Sweden's precision medicine framework.The success experiences of this initiative will serve as valuable reference points for the development of precision medicine in other countries,including China.However,despite significant achievements,Sweden's precision medicine development encounters several shortcomings and challenges,such as data pri-vacy,social ethics and the high costs associated with large-scale genetic sequencing,all of which require continuous improvement and innovation to further propel advancements in the field of personalized healthcare.
