Mediclinic expands precision medicine portfolio with gut microbiome wellness package
People can optimise health via advanced genetic sequencing, AI-driven nutrition planning
In line with its commitment to advancing personalised healthcare and supporting the UAE's vision for a healthier nation, Mediclinic Middle East, one of the region's leading private healthcare providers, has introduced a direct-to-consumer gut microbiome test package. This innovative new service is designed to help individuals optimise their health and improve well-being through personalised dietary insights.
Mediclinic's precision medicine service, delivered through Mediclinic Precise, covers the whole of the UAE. It already features a host of tests including genetic testing for reproductive health, cancer and cardiovascular disease risk, alongside tests for patients with symptoms of genetic disorders as well as those related to the gut microbiome. Genetic testing services are available across all Mediclinic facilities and are serviced by its state-of-the-art laboratories.
Personalised approach
Gut microbiome testing empowers people to understand the status of their gut health in order to create a personalised approach to improve general well-being. A richer and more diverse gut microbiome can help in lowering risk of chronic diseases as well as providing several other health benefits.
The human microbiome, a complex ecosystem of microorganisms in the body, plays a crucial role in maintaining overall health and well-being. By harnessing the latest scientific advancements, Mediclinic seeks to enable clients to leverage their microbiome to address a range of health conditions, including digestive disorders, immune deficiencies and chronic diseases.
Making it more accessible
'Mediclinic's precision medicine service, with testing that happens locally within the UAE, is already providing our patients with fast and accurate information related to their genetic make-up, which empowers them to make informed decisions about their health,' said Dr Jacques Kobersy, chief medical officer at Mediclinic. 'With our new direct-to-consumer gut microbiome testing initiative, we are making this advanced science more accessible to our clients than ever before, representing a significant step forward in personalised medicine.'
The new gut microbiome test and follow-up use genetic sequencing and AI-driven meal planning to optimise digestive health, immune function, weight management and more. Available across Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Al Ain, the package includes virtual and in-person consultations, with seamless pick-up and drop-off services for testing kits.
