Genetics Awareness Programs
Awareness of how genetics impacts health enables people to make informed decisions. With an aim to take Genetics to people, GeneTech organizes Genetics Awareness Programs (GAPs) for patients in different cities and towns of the country in association with local medical bodies like IMA, IAP and FOGSI. In a span of 6 years GeneTech has conducted more than 60 awareness programs in the country.
As part of the GAP programmes, our team travels to various towns and cities, provides free counseling to families advising on prevention and diagnosis of genetic disorders. Effect of consanguinity, environment, drugs, and genetic variation is explained as well. Relevant information material is distributed, and posters are displayed for easy understanding of the genetics of disease in layman's language.
GeneTech is also active in initializing support groups for families affected with genetic disorders. Supportive genetic counseling is the most appreciated service of GeneTech.
