Never knew that drugs like #Ozempic and #Mounjaro have gone viral among #urban population in India.

I will re-emphasise the need for focus on primordial and primary prevention to prevent #Obesity & subsequent risk

Let us prioritise prevention & a public health approach & not rush for medicines.

However, structural flaws, weak capacity, and rushed expansion ... NMC is simply a rebranded version of its predecessor."

I said in @TheLancet world report
🚨 India’s public health education is expanding, but job opportunities r shrinking!

MPH grads face job scarcity & training issues

We need better policies, funding & workforce planning to bridge this gap! ⏳
