Prof. M. Srinivas, Member, NITI Aayog, as Chief Guest, delivered Keynote address at the ‘National Consultation on Countering Nicotine and Tobacco Addiction in India: From Evidence to Action’, organized by ICMR-National Institute Of Cancer Prevention & Research.

Prof. M. Srinivas exhorted that India's response to tobacco and nicotine addiction must be guided by science. Nicotine, irrespective of its delivery mechanism, poses significant risks, particularly to children and young people.

He further emphasised that as new nicotine products emerge, policies, regulations, and public health strategies must evolve with equal urgency to protect future generations and advance the vision of Viksit Bharat by 2047.

This week we are celebrating 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗡𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆. On this important occasion, we recognise the vital contributions of nurses and frontline health workers worldwide.

Dr 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗼 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗸𝗵𝗹𝗮𝗱𝘇𝗲, Policy Research Fellow on Gender Equality and Intersectionality at 𝗨𝗡𝗨-𝗜𝗜𝗚𝗛, joined 𝗕𝗙𝗠 𝟴𝟵.𝟵, alongside registered nurse 𝗛𝗼 𝗩𝘂𝗶 𝗖𝗵𝘆𝗶, from the 𝗦𝗮𝗯𝗮𝗵 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗻 (𝗦𝗠𝗦𝗨), for a timely discussion on nurses’ wellbeing and health workforce resilience in settings affected by climate-related pressures.

The discussion explored how climate-related crises are increasingly affecting not only communities, but also frontline health workers and nurses across Malaysia and the region. It highlighted the need to strengthen resilience through improved working conditions, psychosocial support, emergency preparedness, and occupational health measures.

They also emphasised that nurses and frontline health workers should be recognised not only as responders, but as key voices in shaping solutions. Building resilient health systems requires stronger coordination, gender-responsive policies, investment in primary healthcare, and meaningful inclusion of nurses in decision-making.
