Our Highlights
Global Happenings
WHO is expanding access to quality-assured, child-friendly cancer medicines to improve treatment for children with cancer. The initiative supports reliable availability of appropriate medicines, helping health systems provide safer, effective and affordable care. Improved access aims to reduce treatment gaps and strengthen outcomes for children affected by cancer worldwide.
Haiti is facing a severe child nutrition crisis, with nearly one in thirteen children under five suffering from acute malnutrition. The situation is driven by food insecurity, poverty, displacement and limited access to healthcare. Urgent nutrition support, including screening, treatment and access to nutritious food, is essential to prevent further deterioration.
India and Sri Lanka have strengthened collaboration on food safety through knowledge exchange and sharing of technical expertise. The initiative focuses on improving food safety systems, strengthening regulatory practices, enhancing laboratory capacities, and promoting evidence-based approaches. Such cooperation aims to protect consumers, improve food quality, and strengthen national food safety frameworks.
Social Stream
Foundation of Healthcare Technologies Society (FHTS), University of Memphis School of Public Health, and Zilla Parishad, Kolhapur, Maharashtra, under a joint collaborative initiative, are bringing the Model of Public Health Education to High Schools by using the Public Health in Action curriculum and establishing public health clubs across 50 high schools in Kolhapur, Maharashtra. This first-of-its-kind initiative is engaging more than 1,500 students as public health ambassadors across all 12 blocks of Kolhapur.
Building on the previous modules, the fifth curriculum session, focused on the role of data, information, and knowledge in public health, was delivered across 41 schools in Kolhapur. The session was conducted by Dr. Rashmi Nirhale, Public Health Outreach Specialist at FHTS, entirely in Marathi, helping students understand how data moves from raw numbers to meaningful information and, ultimately, actionable knowledge in public health decision-making.
The initiative furthers the goals of the National Education Policy 2020 and reflects how public health in action can support the Maharashtra state government`s `My Village Healthy Village` initiative, working to address adolescent health challenges such as unhealthy eating, environmental pollution, physical inactivity, emotional well-being, mental health, and social media and mobile addiction.
