Abstract

Personalized Medicine (PM) is an emerging concept in the modern healthcare system and can play a vital role in modern healthcare management. If this concept can be adopted and implemented in a proper manner, the entire healthcare system will attain an elevated dimension. However, there exist many difficulties in adopting personalized healthcare system. An attempt has been made in this paper to present the data obtained through survey that has been conducted amongst a group of medical practitioners and a group of patients. The data collected have then been analysed by resorting to statistical techniques. The study shows that despite many personalized medicines have been discovered for use, it is difficult to adopt the personalized medicare system due to lack of adequate infrastructures, healthcare record system, communication among the medical doctors and genomic researchers, awareness and encouragement of common people, proper training of medical doctors, and confidentiality of the patients.
