[00:00:00]We did something also a few years back um in the UAE which is the genome sequencing of the UAE population.

[00:00:08]How many countries do you know that is actively doing this?

[00:00:14]None comes to mind, right?

[00:00:15]>> I have no like it's all private right now. Nobody's doing it.

[00:00:18]>> Okay.

[00:00:19]>> So, so I remember when I was going to Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi and doing some blood works. Uh no, they they they have a counter right next to the like right next to the reception uh in front of the lab >> and they're like do you want to do it?

[00:00:34]So now every time they ask like I've done it like a few years back, right? So and and the idea is uh they wanted to see how can we map out the diseases of the future so that we can basically be better prepared insurance-wise, health care services wise. And this is why for example now you have this new uh regulation that came out recently where uh for two individuals to get married they have to go and do genetic testing.
