By sidelining genomics, we perpetuate a system where the wealthy seek solutions abroad while the vulnerable are left undiagnosed. Our country has the expertise and vision to lead in this field. What we lack is unified urgency.

Delaying investment in genomic infrastructure (labs, training, and equitable access to sequencing) risks cementing healthcare disparities for generations. This is not merely a scientific endeavor; it is a moral imperative.

Why should our patients settle for fragmented care when whole-genome sequencing could unlock life-saving answers? To our policymakers and public health institutions: the time for incremental steps has passed.

This milestone, however, is just the beginning. As nations worldwide integrate genomics into mainstream healthcare (transforming outcomes in rare diseases, cancer, and public health) we hesitate to prioritise a national genomic strategy, otherwise we run the risk of leaving our citizens behind.

mostly European/American, that fails in many occasion to correctly interpreting "our" genomic variations. Precision medicine cannot thrive without precision data.

an essential tool to decode North Africa’s distinct genetic landscape, historically underrepresented in global studies.Without such a resource, diagnosing and managing Moroccan patients risks reliance on international data..

This is no more heretical in the one case than in the other. And logic must be learned from the ancient masters, regardless of the fact that they were not Muslims.
