Advances in genomics and data analytics are enabling treatments tailored to individual genetic profiles. Precision therapies are being developed for cancers and other conditions based on a patient's unique genetic makeup. Tools like CRISPR are revolutionizing genetic engineering, enabling precise modifications of DNA to treat genetic disorders, cancers, and other diseases, opening doors for potentially curative treatments. Stem cell therapy and tissue engineering are pushing the boundaries of organ repair and regeneration. These approaches are paving the way for potential treatments to restore damaged tissues or even replace organs. AYUSH encompasses Ayurveda, Yoga & Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, and Homoeopathy. These traditional systems of medicine offer holistic approaches for the prevention and management of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, cancer and obesity and emphasize prevention and a patient-centered approach. Integrating these traditional practices with modern healthcare can enhance treatment outcomes and promote overall wellness.
