2025 World Brain Day Dedicated to Brain Health for All Ages

LONDON, May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The World Federation of Neurology (WFN) is pleased to announce Brain Health for All Ages as the theme for the 2025 World Brain Day (WBD 2025), taking place on Tuesday, July 22. This global campaign aims to raise awareness of the importance of supporting brain health throughout every stage of life.

“Brain health isn’t a moment in time—it’s a lifelong commitment,” said Prof. Wolfgang Grisold, President of WFN. “World Brain Day 2025 is our call to action to protect neurological well-being from the earliest stages of development, through childhood, adulthood and into older age. It’s a commitment to care, equity, and access for all.”

Neurological disorders remain the leading cause of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) and the second leading cause of death globally. Yet many of these conditions can be prevented, or better managed with early intervention, education, and equitable access to care. This year’s campaign emphasizes five key messages: awareness, education, prevention, access, and advocacy.

Brain health must be supported across the full human lifespan:

  • Pre-Conception: A parent’s health and habits shape a child’s brain even before birth. Good nutrition, regular check-ups and lifestyle choices form a strong foundation for brain health.
  • Pregnancy & Postnatal: A mother’s physical and emotional well-being is critical for healthy brain development in the womb. Prenatal and postnatal care, proper nutrition and stress management protect both mother and child.
  • Early Childhood & Adolescence: Early life experiences influence learning, emotional growth and social development. Safe environments, immunizations, and positive parenting support long-term brain health.
  • Adulthood: A balanced lifestyle habits—healthy eating, sleep, exercise, and stress control—reduce the risk of neurological disorders.
  • Aging Adults: Staying socially engaged helps preserve independence and quality of life in later years, in addition to regular check-ups for early detection of conditions ranging from mild cognitive impairment to dementia.

“As we move into 2025, it’s more important than ever to make brain health a global priority,” said Prof. Tissa Wijeratne, Co-Chair of World Brain Day. “Everyone, no matter their age or where they live, deserves the chance to live with a healthy brain. This year, we’re focusing on fairness in care, supporting families, and making brain health something that truly matters to everyone.”

“The earlier we prioritize brain health, the greater our chance to reduce the burden of neurological disease,” said Dr. David Dodick, Emeritus Professor of Neurology at Mayo Clinic and World Brain Day Co-Chair. “This year’s theme reminds us that brain health is a journey—not a milestone. It begins before birth, refined in childhood, and preserved through adulthood and older age, influencing our potential, resilience, and quality of life at every age.”

World Brain Day is a global call to action for both individuals and institutions to share meaningful information and activities on brain health. July 22 is a day dedicated to protecting and promoting brain health across the entire lifespan. Visit wfneurology.org/worldbrainday for more information and access to campaign tools. 

Established by the WFN in 2014, World Brain Day continues to serve as a global platform for raising public awareness on key neurological health topics. Individuals, societies, and countries are encouraged to participate and amplify their voices on social media using hashtags such as #WorldBrainDay, #WBD2025, and #BrainHealthForAllAges.

CPA Australia survey: Young entrepreneurs help drive robust growth in Filipino small business sector

MANILA, Philippines, May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Filipino small businesses continue to stand out as among the most dynamic in the Asia Pacific region, with 77 per cent reporting growth in 2024 and 89 per cent expecting to expand this year.

CPA Australia Small Business Survey 2024 - 25  - Philippines Infographics
CPA Australia Small Business Survey 2024 – 25 – Philippines Infographics

These key findings, from the latest Asia-Pacific Small Business Survey conducted by one of the world’s largest professional accounting bodies, CPA Australia. This bullish performance is largely attributed to a customer-focused mindset.

However, challenges such as constrained access to finance and slower technology adoption compared with other markets in the region are holding some businesses back.

Last year saw the highest number of growing Filipino small businesses since 2019. Reflecting this improved sentiment, 41 per cent of respondents increased their workforce in 2024, and 57 per cent plan to hire more employees in 2025.

Customer loyalty and satisfaction remain key drivers of small business success in the Philippines. Nearly half (46 per cent) of Filipino respondents cited customer loyalty as their top growth factor, while 37 per cent selected improved customer satisfaction.

Mr Rufus Pinto, a CPA Australia-qualified accountant who works in the Philippine finance industry, said: “Small businesses in the Philippines are thriving due to their exceptional customer-centric approach, which helps them to retain loyal clients and attract new ones.

“Overall, the economy maintained steady growth last year, driven by strong domestic consumption, which created many opportunities for small businesses.”

Mr Pinto said the youthful profile of Filipino small business owners was a key advantage. “Our young population is a key driver of the dynamic economy,” he said. “The Philippines has one of the youngest small business owner profiles in the region and their strong entrepreneurialism is driving growth in the sector.”

Reflecting confidence in the business outlook, 28 per cent of Filipino respondents expect strong revenue growth from overseas markets in 2025, a three-year high that surpasses many regional counterparts.

“With a young, English-speaking workforce and a strong work ethic, the Philippines remains a top destination for outsourced services from international companies, especially for voice-based services and customer support roles. Small businesses should continue to leverage these strengths to attract more overseas clients,” he said.

Despite the promising outlook and employment trends, Filipino small businesses continue to lag their regional counterparts in digital adoption. In 2024, 62 per cent of respondents reported earning more than 10 per cent of their revenue from online sales, below the surveyed average of 67 per cent.

Though 74 per cent received more than one-tenth of their revenue from digital payment technologies such as Dragonpay and GCash, close to the regional average (75 per cent), only 13 per cent sought advice from IT consultants last year, well below the Asia-Pacific average of 28 per cent.

“With a large talent pool and a focus on people-to-people connection, Filipino small businesses tend to prioritise personal connections over digitalisation and automation,” said Mr Pinto. “Challenges such as limited internet access in rural areas, a large unbanked population and reliance on cash and remittances also hinder digitalisation.”

However, the benefits of tech investment are clear. Among Filipino small businesses who invested in technology in 2024, 69 per cent reported improved profitability, well above the Asia-Pacific average of 56 per cent. This placed the Philippines second among all surveyed markets.

Rising costs remain the top challenge, with 40 per cent of respondents citing it as a key barrier. Access to finance is also a hurdle. While 65 per cent sought external finance in 2024, only 22 per cent found it easy to obtain, the lowest result in the region. This trend is expected to persist.

“Banks remain the primary source of funding, however only 22 per cent of respondents named them as their main lender,” Mr Pinto said.

“When applying for bank finance, it usually requires documents to demonstrate how the funds will be used and the credibility of the borrowers. Filipino small businesses should set ambitious long-term goals and craft well-prepared business plans towards achieving them. These are persuasive and solid documents for securing bank loans.

“Consulting professionals, including accountants who hold the internationally recognised CPA designation, can help improve financial records and address technical issues such as taxation.”     

CPA Australia’s Asia-Pacific Small Business Survey collected views from 4,236 small businesses in 11 Asia-Pacific markets in November and December 2024, including 310 from the Philippines. This is CPA Australia’s 16th annual survey of small business issues and sentiment since 2009.

Laos Issues Payment Guidelines for 1% Digital Revenue Contribution

The Ministry of Technology and Communications has officially detailed enforcement measures for a regulation requiring all digital service providers in Laos to contribute 1 percent of their gross revenue to the Digital Telecommunications Development Fund (DTTDF), a key component of the country’s push for nationwide digital transformation.

In a notice released on 19 May, the Ministry outlined payment procedures, deadlines, and compliance expectations, marking the most concrete guidance since the DTTDF decree was issued on 30 May 2024.

The regulation, which first took effect on 1 July 2024, applies to telecommunications and internet service providers, postal businesses, and digital service companies. The 1 percent contribution is calculated based on gross revenue, excluding indirect taxes such as excise tax and value-added tax (VAT).

According to the latest guidelines, companies must report their contributions for the July-December 2024 and January-May 2025 periods to the DTTDF by 30 June. 

Beginning June 2025, monthly submissions are required by the 20th day of the following month. 

The DTTDF decree has been announced since 30 May 2024, establishing the legal framework for this revenue-sharing mechanism.

According to the DTTDF, the fund serves multiple strategic purposes, including critical telecom and digital infrastructure to boost national security and remote connectivity. 

It also invests in digital governance, workforce development, and affordable services in sectors like education and health. 

The fund drives nationwide digital transformation. Its mandatory contributions ensure steady progress toward Laos’ digital goals.

OSL Wealth Debuts Stablecoin Yield-Generating Product via Ethena

TL;DR: OSL Wealth Partnership with Ethena, giving institutional clients dollar-pegged stability, auto-compounding on-chain yield, and daily liquidity.

HONG KONG, May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — OSL Wealth, under OSL Group, announces a new yield-generating product that seamlessly channels the performance of Ethena Labs’ Staked USDe (sUSDe) to OSL’s professional and institutional clients.

Clients simply trade through OSL’s OTC desk—using USD or USDT—and receive an instrument that (i) auto-compounds historically low-to-mid-teen net APY into its price, (ii) maintains constant 1:1 redemption into USDe for dollar stability, (iii) offers business-day subscriptions and redemptions with no lock-ups or performance fees, and (iv) is safeguarded around the clock in OSL’s segregated, insured custody.

sUSDe is the reward-bearing version of Ethena’s synthetic stablecoin, USDe. By pairing ETH collateral with short perpetual-futures hedges, the underlying protocol harvests funding-rate income and staking rewards, compounding them into the token’s value while preserving a 1:1 dollar peg. OSL Wealth now wraps that mechanism inside its own regulated offering, so clients can benefit from sUSDe’s yield without managing staking wallets, on-chain hedges, or complex custody flows.

Tony Luk, Head of OSL Wealth stated, “Our clients want dollar stability that earns a real return, delivered through an institution they already trust. By integrating sUSDe under OSL’s compliance, custody, and security framework, we’ve turned a technically demanding DeFi strategy into a turnkey income product.”

“OSL has set the bar for regulated digital asset services in Asia,” noted Steven Shi, Head of Institutional Growth, Ethena Labs. “Their adoption of sUSDe brings our yield-bearing stablecoin to an audience that demands both transparency and institutional-grade safeguards.”

¹ Past performance is not indicative of future results. Yield fluctuates with perp-funding rates and staking returns.

Perennial Holdings Signs Agreement with Guangzhou Metro to Establish the First Wholly Foreign-Owned Tertiary General Hospital in Guangzhou and Southern China

SINGAPORE, May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Perennial Holdings Private Limited (“Perennial Holdings“) entered into an agreement with Guangzhou Metro Group Co. Ltd (“Guangzhou Metro“), where Perennial Holdings will lease approximately 105,000 square metres of space and invest approximately RMB1 billion to establish a tertiary general hospital and a specialist hospital at the Southeast Tower of Yuesheng Plaza, which is adjacent to the Baiyun High Speed Railway (“HSR“) station in Guangzhou. The general hospital will be the first wholly foreign-owned tertiary general hospital in Guangzhou and Southern China. The two medical facilities will have a total planned capacity of over 600 beds.

The signing ceremony was witnessed by government officials, including Mr Lai Zhihong, Vice Mayor of Guangzhou Municipal People’s Government, Ms Cindy Wee, Consul-General of the Singapore Consulate-General in Guangzhou, and guests from various sectors.

At the two hospitals, a shared medical facilities and services concept (“Shared Medical Platform“) will be implemented. This Singapore-modelled Shared Medical Platform will allow doctors and medical groups to operate on an asset-light basis, where they focus solely on providing medical consultations and treatments without investing in medical facilities and services. Instead, they will leverage on the Shared Medical Platform provided and managed by Perennial Holdings, including advanced operating theatres, cutting-edge diagnostic imaging equipment and an extensive clinical laboratory. This model has been successfully implemented in Perennial Holdings’ general hospital in Tianjin, China’s first wholly foreign-owned tertiary general hospital, which commenced operations earlier this year. The model has been proven to offer convenience and cost efficiency to doctors and medical groups, allowing them to grow and scale their practices across Perennial Holdings’ healthcare-centric HSR transit-oriented developments (“TODs“). Works are expected to commence in July 2025 and completed within one year.

These two hospitals form the first phase of the Perennial Baiyun International Healthcare City, which is expected to span over 1.18 square kilometres and conceptualised under the strategic partnership agreement signed between Perennial Holdings and the Guangzhou Baiyun District Government in end-2024. To be developed at an estimated total investment cost of RMB5 billion, Perennial Holdings will work closely with the Guangzhou Baiyun District Government to jointly attract investments and high-quality local and international medical resources and institutions, as well as promote resource sharing to accelerate the successful implementation of the landmark precinct.

The Perennial Baiyun International Healthcare City is envisioned to be a medical and wellness precinct integrating medical, wellness, research, training, commercial and residential components. The medical component, encompassing high-end hospitals and biomedical facilities across diverse disciplines, is poised to become an international healthcare service hub for Southeast Asia and Asia-Pacific. Supported by telemedicine capabilities and smart medical devices, this comprehensive medical component is expected to offer medical treatment and care across all life stages, including preventive, acute, chronic and end-of-life care.

Mr Pua Seck Guan, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Perennial Holdings, said, “We are pleased to establish the first wholly foreign-owned tertiary general hospital in Guangzhou and Southern China, as well as a specialist hospital at Guangzhou Metro’s Yuesheng Plaza. The RMB1 billion investment aligns with our strategic focus on healthcare-centric HSR TODs, which serve as enablers of our healthcare business, and marks our maiden healthcare business foray into the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. We are also excited with the inking of our next milestone, with the establishment of our second wholly foreign-owned tertiary general hospital in China, following our first in Tianjin.”

Mr Pua added, “Guangzhou is a destination of choice for medical care. Our hospitals’ strategic location in Guangzhou Baiyun’s city centre and their proximity to the Baiyun HSR station provide access to a population catchment of over 100 million across the Greater Bay Area. Our asset-light Shared Medical Platform for doctors and medical groups, coupled with Guangzhou’s international aviation hub status, facilitates global partnerships with renowned overseas doctors and medical groups. Additionally, the city’s abundant medical resources, renowned western and traditional Chinese medicine hospitals, top academic institutions and skilled local talent, combined with its conducive business environment and efficient government system, provide crucial support for our hospitals’ successful execution. Guangzhou’s comfortable climate and diverse cuisine are also ideal for local and international patients seeking treatments and post-operative recuperation.”

Mr Pua Seck Guan, further added, “With a professional team of international medical practitioners, advanced medical equipment and high standards of personalised care, our general and specialist hospitals will establish Guangzhou as a top medical tourism destination, attracting high-net-worth clients from the Asia Pacific region. Over time, as we work in unison with the Guangzhou Baiyun District Government to develop the wider Perennial Baiyun International Healthcare City to bring in internationally-renowned medical players in precision medicine, smart health services, advanced medical technology and management systems, it will further raise Guangzhou’s standing as a premier medical hub and inject new momentum into the development of the healthcare industry of the Greater Bay Area.”

Separately, Perennial Holdings is also developing an integrated eldercare project in Guangzhou’s Huangpu District. The project will feature a rehabilitation hospital, nursing home and an eldercare home, ensuring a seamless continuum of care that addresses the diverse needs across the Greater Bay Area for quality eldercare, professional rehabilitation and nursing care.

In China, Perennial Holdings has five healthcare-centric TODs which are connected to HSR stations, located in Tianjin, Chengdu, Kunming, Xi’an and Chongqing. The company owns, manages and operates over 25,000 beds in medical and eldercare facilities, comprising about 16,000 operational beds and over 9,000 beds in the pipeline, across 14 cities in China and Singapore.
