We are delighted to share that Dr @ShifalikaGoenka, Deputy Director & Head - Health Promotion, Physical activity and Obesity Prevention, Centre for Chronic Disease Control (CCDC) participated as a panellist in the discussion on “Air Pollution and TB: Evidence to Action” at the technical consultation Widening the Lens on TB Elimination, held on 30 October 2026 at @aiims_newdelhi.

During the discussion, she highlighted how air pollution affects the body's defences against infections, increases the risk of tuberculosis, and contributes to non-communicable diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. She also emphasised that health is shaped by much more than healthcare services. The air we breathe, the way our cities are planned and the environments in which we live play an equally important role in determining health outcomes. She called for a people-centred approach to development, with stronger collaboration across public health, urban planning, environment, and other sectors to create healthier communities.

Putting people at the heart of development is essential to building a healthier and more resilient #Viksit Bharat.

50 delegates gathered for over six days at a quaint corner of Kochi to be mentored by 13 global experts and leading figures in epidemiology and public health research on diabetes mellitus at the 15th edition of the Cambridge Seminar.

Team CCDC, along with our long-standing partner AIIMS (All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi) was delighted to host IMS Epidemiology, University of Cambridge, as they brought the legacy of the Cambridge Seminar to India for the first time. The seminar aimed to provide a globally accessible forum for understanding the population health aspects of diabetes and its prevention, expanding the horizon from the existing training that focused almost exclusively on individual patient care among those who had already developed diabetes.

The Seminar continued this vision in order to build capacity for diabetes research to shed light on its causation as well as its primary, secondary and tertiary prevention.

We congratulate all our delegates for their active participation and thank our experts for their invaluable time and knowledge exchange!
