Abstract		In the “omics” era, incorporation of genomic medicine into clinical practice is greatly anticipated following recent scientific and technological advances. Currently a multidisciplinary agenda that involves government officials, funding agencies, industry leadership, healthcare providers, biomedicine researchers, and the general public is of outmost importance to “translate” human discoveries into human health. But although groundbreaking scientific findings are being revealed, the clinical application of genomic medicine and its acceptance in healthcare cannot be envisaged without sound science and evidence-based facts. A series of challenges exist from both scientific and policy perspectives at a global level. This chapter presents an overview of the current genomic medicine initiatives, both national and worldwide, which once successfully completed will help to expedite implementation of genomic medicine practices into the clinic.
