The Gulf state of Qatar on Tuesday launched a genetic code mapping project for its small population to help in treating diseases.
The “Qatar Genome” project is a “road map for future treatment,” said Sheikha Moza bint Nasser, the wife of the former emir, at the opening of the World Innovation Summit for Health in Doha.
“Innovation is not only in finding a new medicine, it is in finding solutions to reduce the need for taking the medicine,” she said.
Qatar has a population of 2.1 million, including some 300,000 Qatari nationals.
