Easy to hide, harder to quit. Nicotine pouches are spreading fast: toxic, highly attractive and addictive, damaging brain development and poisoning small children. Around 160 countries have no specific regulations. Youth are at risk. Stop making nicotine appealing. 👉bit.ly/48Xn1x2 #TobaccoExposed

Grateful to our Paediatric Oncology team for making this happen: one of our children with an incurable cancer had two last wishes: meet MS Dhoni, and ride a @Lamborghini. Today, we could make one of these happen. If any of you have contacts with MSD, pls connect us.

Truly an honour to be recognised alongside people I've admired deeply in cancer control globally. oncodaily.com/community/100-… Also a reminder that we have miles to go towards equity in cancer care. @CancerGridIndia Access to quality healthcare should be a right, not a privilege.

Access to vaccines is not a privilege — it is a human right. In @statnews.com today, Stefan Peterson and I write about using a human rights-based approach to deal with vaccine denialism and the return of measles, whooping cough and diphtheria www.statnews.com/2025/11/12/c...

🚨 This is unscientific & dangerous. The MMR vaccine is safe, effective & used worldwide. Splitting it into 3 shots isn’t evidence-based—it’s politics that will sow confusion, lower coverage & fuel outbreaks. Don’t be surprised when countries start requiring proof of MMR from U.S. travelers. 💉
