Dubai Police have launched an initiative to encourage participation in the Emirati Genome Programme, a national effort aimed at advancing genetic research and improving healthcare outcomes for UAE citizens. The programme collects genetic data to support early detection, personalized treatments, and prevention of hereditary diseases.
Through awareness campaigns, Dubai Police are highlighting the benefits of participation, including access to specialized medical insights and contributions to national health research. Officers are engaging with communities, providing information on how individuals can enroll in the programme and emphasizing the importance of genetic research in building a healthier future.
Authorities noted that the initiative aligns with the UAE’s broader vision of leveraging advanced science and technology to enhance public health. By encouraging Emiratis to participate, the programme aims to strengthen medical research capabilities and develop targeted healthcare solutions tailored to the genetic profile of the population.
Participation in the Emirati Genome Programme is voluntary, with strict measures in place to ensure data privacy and ethical use of genetic information. Dubai Police officials have stressed that every contribution will support the UAE’s goal of fostering innovation and improving the well-being of its citizens.
