Introduction Precision medicine customizes prevention, diagnosis, and treatment based on individual characteristics. Despite advancements, significant challenges remain in the widespread implementation of precision medicine across low- to middle-income countries (LMICs) such as Colombia. This review aims to identify and propose possible solutions to help close this gap.Areas covered Implementing precision medicine in LMICs requires addressing key barriers such as limited technology, inadequate healthcare training, ethical considerations, insufficient insurance coverage, public attitudes, high costs, and lack of political support.Expert opinion Precision medicine has the potential to revolutionize patient care and healthcare practices. By addressing these challenges and prioritizing strategic development areas, LMICs can fully embrace it, leading to significant improvements in healthcare outcomes for their diverse populations.
