Abstract
Genomics policy development involves assessing a wide range of issues extending from
specimen collection and data sharing to whether and howto utilize advanced technologies in
clinical practice and public health initiatives. A survey was conducted among African
scientists and stakeholders with an interest in genomic medicine, seeking to evaluate: 1)
Their knowledge and understanding of the field. 2) The institutional environment and
infrastructure available to them. 3) The state and awareness of the field in their country.
4) Their perception of potential barriers to implementation of precision medicine.
