📣📣📣 Good news story!! #Vietnam has been certified by @WHO as having eliminated #trachoma.
This is a *huge* achievement - eliminating any disease (especially without a vaccine) takes incredible commitment, tenacity & hard work.
Bravo to the Govt of 🇻🇳 & all partners who helped make this happen. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Great news: #Egypt is malaria-free!
This certification is truly historic, and a testament to the commitment of the people and government of Egypt to rid themselves of this ancient scourge.
I congratulate Egypt on this achievement, which is an inspiration to other countries in the region, and shows what’s possible with the right resources and the right tools.

Despite assurances from the hon Supreme Court, there's no concrete action on the RG Kar case. Delhi RDAs had a meeting and announced a protest on Oct 16 due to delayed justice and lack of safety measures. Urgent action is needed! @MoHFW_INDIA@MamataOfficial
Huge congrats to Shailaja Paik for the well-deserved MacArthur Fellowship! Her incredible research on caste, gender, and sexuality is bringing much-needed attention to the struggles and resilience of Dalit women. This is a win for all of us fighting for equality! 🎉✊🏽 #Caste
The repeated Israeli attacks on UNIFIL’s operations and personnel in southern Lebanon in recent days must be urgently investigated. International humanitarian law prohibits intentional targeting of UN peacekeeping missions which are entitled to civilian protection.
Ratan Tata's passing leaves a great void in our corporate world and public space. He symbolised the best values Tata group is famous for: ethical practices, public trust, innovation, entrepreneurship, philanthropy, trusteeship for the whole society and public good above individual greed. The House of Tatas is probably India's greatest brand, and Parsis are our most beloved community in a diverse society; Ratan Tata was an enduring icon of both. The nation will for long remember him fondly, as it remembers his great predecessors like JRD and the founder, Jamshedji.
Om Shanti.
Ratan Tata ’59, B.Arch. ’62, the university’s most generous international donor and one of India's most respected business leaders and philanthropists, passed Oct. 9. We will remember his legacy of transformative giving to Cornell.

@Outlookindia You used the term " metally ill" in headlines and have content about ASD and other special learning disabilities in addition to Mental Illness. This could mislead many millions about behavioural disorders and effect in many possible ways !
There is a saying among the critical care doctors crowd in India that we do not see many actual cases of liver toxicity and liver failure due to paracetamol poisoning because there is no paracetamol in the drugs to start with. People were overdosing on talcum powder and starch.
The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (#CDSCO) has issued an alert regarding over 50 medicines that were found to be substandard during tests conducted in August.
The list includes commonly used medications such as Pan-D, #Paracetamol , antibiotics, blood pressure (BP) medications, sugar control drugs, vitamins, calcium supplements, and others.
Following this alert, the affected drug companies are required to remove these products from the market.
APJUDA strongly condemns this barbaric behaviour of the goons at RGKAR MEDICAL COLLEGE and HOSPITAL KOLKATA
APJUDA request @narendramodi ji @AmitShah ji to take swift action as the state has failed in maintaining law and order
