Genetics and genomics, together with other biomedical sciences and digital technologies, have a vital role to play in transforming health services to become systems that can work for health in the 21st century in ways that are affordable and that respond to individuals’ requirement for more autonomy. Health services should embrace this agenda and implement changes in the organization of care.
