Swedish govt investing 80 million kronor in genomic medicine

21 April 2025

The National Board of Health and Welfare will pay 80 million kronor ($8.3 million) to the national initiative Genomic Medicine Sweden (GMS) in 2025.

The money will be used, among other things, for a national implementation project of whole genome sequencing for rare health conditions, the implementation of precision-based diagnostics in cancer and infectious diseases, which includes the identification of antibiotic resistance. All initiatives will also ensure the equal introduction of precision health in healthcare.

The initiative promotes the implementation of precision medicine, which pharma trade group the Lif sees as a welcome priority. The government's support for GMS is a clear signal that it is an important area for Sweden.
