Opportunities to Advance Personalised Medicine in Africa.

Abstract

This policy brief is an output of the EU-Africa PerMed project that seeks to build links between Europe and Africa in Personalised Medicine (PM) and facilitate the participation of African countries in the global PM research agenda. The project is funded by the European Commission under the European Union's Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation program and implemented by a consortium of 13 partners, seven from Africa and six from Europe. This brief is based mainly on project activities' findings, which include mapping the scientific and policy landscape of PM in Africa and two stakeholder-based surveys that sought to understand the situation concerning PM in Africa.
