National Dental Commission (NDC), Regulatory body of dental education in India, yet to be set up, even after 1 year of National Dental Commission Act in Aug 2023 & rules also notified in March 2024.

COVID infection was responsible for all that sudden cardiac death in young people. Not COVID vaccines. COVID is still around, but people are not well informed and in India, the government is least bothered about newer updated vaccination protocols to safeguard public health.

[R. Prasad @RPrasad12]

India has become unfair, unjust as a fifth of its citizens are unable to avail medical care due to their inability to pay. About 60 M ppl are driven to penury paying medical bills. Unregulated commercialisation of health services can be a recipe for disaster, says @sujakrao

[Neha Parikh @caffeinekicks]

The conflict of interest amongst so many of the #LancetCommission members is evident. Have been deeply inspired by @sujakrao and many others who have quit and taken the right stand on increased privatisation in #healthcare. Hope this brings a relook at report recommendations.

This declaration needs accelerated access to #testing, #vaccines and therapeutic #drugs, that is still hoarded by high income countries. Repeated epidemics have shown that the most needy and vulnerable countries and populations continue to remain behind #PublicHealth #Mpox

Mpox outbreak in Africa is public health emergency resembling early days of HIV, says WHO https://t.co/kGjwFdZDSW

@Pratishtha97 @PLOSGPH @veena_sriram @SonaliVaid @sharmi_shtha @docVRK @ICRW @WGHIndia @GlobalHlth5050 Such a timely research Pratishtha. While women form the bulk of the healthcare workforce, hardly any representation at platforms that matters which can bring about systemic change. Kudos to the team.

The unfortunate and horrifying rape and killing of a resident in Kolkata in the hospital she was on night duty on again highlights the issue of safety in healthcare spaces. There is a long history to this issue-- right from Aruna Shanbaug, a nurse who was sexually assaulted...

A special shout out to Rahul Dravid. A man of great class, great dignity and just a fantastic giver. India U19, India 'A' and now this. Top man. Great Indian.

Of the 1,563 candidates eligible to appear for the re-exam of the undergraduate #NEET-UG, only 813 (approximately 52%) took it on Sunday.

The #NEET exam controversy has left many students disheartened.

Were the papers leaked in an organised manner? What happens to the aspirants now?

@Basantrajsonu and @TweetSumedha will uncover this and more.

We need public health facilities/ state funded health insurance in India that serve everyone, for free.

Whether you get to live or die should not depend on how much money in your wallet. Access to life-saving insurance from gov shouldn't depend on being below a poverty line.

Are you aware of any mental health support available for those managed to evacuate from #Gaza? DM are open.

#Data is becoming increasingly opaque & inaccessible! For the first time in 150 years, a whole decade has passed with no official comprehensive data on #India or its people. There is no Visksit Bharat if we don't know our people #PublicHealth #DataForAll https://t.co/cZAt8MywIy

"One of the main challenges in operationalizing the PHC approach has been the lengthy tradition of vertical disease control program management, which, although demonstrating results, has been critiqued for lack of efficiency, establishment of parallel funding and planning systems, and distortion of national priorities." https://t.co/bqv7Rq5ToZ

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

The situation in #Gaza is disastrous.

Once again, @WHO demands a ceasefire.

Once again, we call for all hostages to be released, and for lasting peace.

Health is a human right and achieving #HealthForAll is key to delivering on this promise.
