Dr. Jitendra Singh, Union Minister of State for Science & Technology, dedicated the UMMID (Unique Methods of Management of Inherited Disorders) Programme to the nation during an event in New Delhi. He emphasized that genomic and precision medicine will define the future of healthcare in India. The UMMID initiative aims to improve the diagnosis and management of rare genetic disorders, which have historically been neglected due to challenges in diagnosis and high treatment costs. Singh highlighted that the programme has already benefited nearly three lakh individuals through enhanced screening and diagnostic services. Additionally, nearly 30 NIDAN Kendras have been established to provide advanced diagnostics and counselling services, particularly in Aspirational Districts and underserved areas. The UMMID Dashboard was also launched to facilitate nationwide access to genetic diagnostics and counselling. Singh noted that the initiative is part of broader healthcare reforms aimed at making healthcare more affordable and accessible, as well as improving early detection and genetic counselling for affected families. The event was attended by senior scientists and healthcare professionals, underscoring the collaborative effort to address the challenges posed by inherited genetic disorders in India.
