India plays a critical role in generic drug manufacturing for the world. We need stronger regulatory practice to uphold that position to continue offering high quality medicines and sustain the credibility. Thank you @RPrasad12 for this excellent piece
My Editorial today on Aveo Pharmaceuticals, which was in the “business” of manufacturing and exporting deadly synthetic opioids under the garb of “medicines”

Do YOU have a definition of what health and wellness mean to you and your family? Share your 7 word definition!! And if you work in public health then for the communities you aim to serve
⚕️How do YOU define health and wellbeing? This #NutritionWeek, @MedhaGandhi challenges us to think differently about health and well-being based on individual and community needs. How do we bring healthcare right where people are? What would that look like in your community?

Education keeping the user in mind. Delivery of the curriculum is as critical as the curriculum if not more. This small innovation in an AWC in Ghaziabad made for such a heartwarming read. It’s truly the small things that matter

Everyone in Ghaziabad's Morti village—from parents to students—wants to know more about the digital blackboard at Anganwadis Centre no 1 and 2 that interacts with them.

The onus is on each of us to raise respectful and humble boys and strong girls. The onus is on demanding clear policies and appropriate implementation. The onus is on all of us. To a safer country for our future generations
#Kolkata Rape & Murder and the aftermath. On #IndependenceDay, I want to Say, I am brave, but I am NOT Nirbhaya, because forcing your idea of fearlessness on me means you have to do nothing to change what scared me to begin with. My small piece- I Am An Indian Woman...

Women’s agency and autonomy is critical. As parents, as schools, as systems, we need to acknowledge and respect it. We also need to raise humble and respectful boys and men. Patriarchy is deep rooted and we need to work one step at a time to address it
Vinesh Phogat's appeal dismissed at the CAS. Yet her story is not about winning medals but an indictment of how in India a defiant woman is ostracised by the patriarchy, subject to verbal and physical assault. The horrifying tragedy at #RGKarMedicalcollege is part of this

Expanding contraceptive choices strengthen autonomy. Choice & affordability address critical barriers to availability and access. In my article in @the_hindu I talk about emergency contraceptives and the policy pathways to addressing cost barriers.

The wider availability of the single dose emergency contraception pill is an example of the government’s response to the choices women are making
