As someone who has witnessed the devastating impact of tobacco on individuals, families, and communities, I remain convinced that tobacco control is one of the most powerful public health interventions of our time.

On this World Psycho-oncology Day, we reminisce the journey we had in expanding the Psycho-oncology in India. Today, we stand proud with our very own national body 'Psycho-Oncology Society of India (POSI)'.

Cancer impacts both the body & the mind. We need more psycho-oncologists to support patients emotionally through their cancer journey. Let’s raise awareness & ensure all patients receive the holistic care they deserve.

I was a strong supporter of this present governance but I myself was shocked and disappointed. All I am requesting the officials is that please do not portray that you are doing more, when it's not true. Its hurting to see after all the sufferings we have been through!
An absolutely proud moment of our department being featured as a cover story in the Newsletter of @CI_WIA The department's growth has been tremendous over the last two decades.
This is an immeasurable appreciation to the dedicated team at the Cancer Institute, Chennai!
