Below the Quote on World Health Day by Dr. Sajeev Nair, noted biohacking evangelist, bestselling author, and founder of Bengaluru-based genomic health-tech startup, Vieroots

“World Health Day 2025’s focus on maternal and newborn health is a much-needed call to action. For India, it’s time to take a bold step by mandating genetic screening for 100% of newborns, just as is done in countries like the United States. But the spotlight shouldn’t stop at birth. The health of mothers, fathers, and all adults is equally critical. Every adult should ideally undergo genetic screening, which can guide lifestyle modifications to prevent chronic diseases and unlock peak physical and cognitive performance.

This expanded focus is especially urgent now, as the global workforce stands at a critical juncture with the rapid rise of AI. To truly realize this year’s World Health Day theme — ‘Healthy Beginnings, Hopeful Futures’ — we must empower the adult population to avoid being crippled by lifestyle diseases and instead rise to their full potential. Only personalized genomic solutions, like EPLIMO, can deliver both preventive care and performance optimization.

Corporates must lead the way by integrating genomic screening into executive health check-ups and employee health plans. Beyond immediate wellness, this approach also has a profound generational impact , the epigenetic health of young adults directly influences the well-being of future generations. Investing in adult preventive health today ensures truly healthy beginnings for tomorrow.”
