With growing interest in personalized healthcare, we are confident this initiative will greatly benefit the citizens of the Philippines.”
Why the Philippines is Ready for Genetic Testing
With a population of approximately 113 million people, the Philippines has seen significant growth in health-conscious behaviors and interest in personalized healthcare. The growing middle class, comprising around 40% of the population, drives demand for health solutions offering personalized insights and preventive care. The collaboration between Ancestry India DNA and MDF Consulting is perfectly timed as the Philippines experiences a shift towards healthcare modernization and genetic research. Key factors supporting the adoption of genetic testing services in the country include
Cultural Diversity: Filipinos are curious about their ethnic roots, which makes DNA testing a natural fit.
Healthcare Innovation: Precision medicine and personalized healthcare solutions are gaining momentum in the Philippines, with genetic testing at the forefront.
Government and Institutional Support: Initiatives supporting biotechnology and genomics provide a solid foundation for growth in genetic testing services.
Overseas Filipino Communities: With over 10 million Filipinos living abroad, there is an additional market for the diaspora seeking to understand their ancestry and health through DNA testing.
Ancestry Philippines aims to provide Filipino citizens access to these advanced genetic services, offering insights that could shape preventive healthcare, wellness, and overall health outcomes. In addition, MDF Consulting will play a pivotal role in managing the distribution of DNA collection kits, logistics, and outreach efforts to engage communities across the country. The partnership is expected to launch within the next 45 days, with details on pricing for DNA sample collection kits and testing costs to be finalized shortly. By providing accessible, high-quality DNA mapping services, Ancestry Philippines is poised to impact public health and education in the country significantly.
