Our Highlights
Global Happenings
WHO warns that one in four doctors globally is nearing retirement age, raising concerns about a growing shortage of health workers. The aging workforce, combined with insufficient recruitment and training, could worsen healthcare access and increase pressure on health systems, highlighting the need for long-term workforce planning and investment.
In 2025, more than 171 million students worldwide experienced disruptions to their education due to climate-related hazards. Floods, heatwaves, storms, and other extreme weather events affected school attendance and learning. UNICEF highlights the need for climate-resilient education systems, safer schools, and measures to protect children’s right to continuous education.
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.

From Burden to Solution: Let`s Talk About Foodborne Diseases
Foodborne diseases are illnesses caused by eating contaminated food, and they affect millions of people every year. The good news? Most of them are preventable with simple, safe food practices.
In our latest Public Health ki Rasoi video, we break down how small everyday habits can protect you and your family:
💧 Keep it clean
🍳 Cook thoroughly
🌡️ Keep food at safe temperatures
🚰 Use safe water and raw materials
This World Food Safety Day, let`s move from burden to solutions, because safe food everywhere starts in our own kitchens.
Public Health ki Rasoi: Where Tradition Meets Nutrition Science
Launched in 2024, Public Health ki Rasoi is a video-based platform that bridges the gap between nutrition science and cultural culinary practices, empowering communities to make healthier food choices. Through short, engaging, multilingual video lessons, we combine scientific guidance with traditional recipes and cooking practices, so healthy eating feels familiar, practical and easy to apply.
📺 Watch. Learn. Apply. Explore our growing library of culturally rooted videos on healthy cooking, balanced diets, lifestyle disease prevention, stress-free eating habits and community wellness.
