Her Excellency Dr Noura Khamis Al Ghaithi, Undersecretary of the Department of Health – Abu Dhabi, said: “Health systems around the world are entering a new era, where advances in science, data and technology are giving us the ability to understand risk earlier and act before illness progresses. In Abu Dhabi, we are bringing together policy, data, genomics, clinical innovation and investment to translate that potential into a more predictive, preventive and personalised model of health. To Sense is to Predict reflects this shift from responding to illness to using deeper insight to protect health and help people live more years in good health.”
