एचपीवी वैक्सीन सुरक्षित, प्रभावी है और सर्वाइकल कैंसर से सुरक्षा प्रदान करती है। 14 वर्ष की आयु की बालिकाओं का टीकाकरण इसलिए महत्वपूर्ण है क्योंकि कम उम्र में रोग प्रतिकारक शक्ति अधिक मजबूत प्रतिक्रिया देती है। #CervicalCancer #HPVvaccine @MoHFW_INDIA @PTI_News @narendramodi

The #HPVvaccine is safe, effective, & protective against #cervicalcancer. Vaccinating girls aged 14 years offers the highest benefit. This age group develops a stronger immune response compared to older ages. Let’s ensure no girl is left behind. @MoHFW_INDIA @PTI_News @WHO

Congratulations to #India 🇮🇳 as it is all set to launch nationwide #HPVVaccination for 14 year old girls. A historic step to prevent #CervicalCancer. In vast country like ours where regular screening is challenging, one preventive dose today can save lives tomorrow. #HPVVaccine

Strong girls. Healthy futures. HPV vaccination at ages 9–14 offers the best protection before exposure. Get your daughters vaccinated, #Prevention is #Empowerment . #cervicalcancer #HPVvaccine #HealthForAll #VaccinesWork #ProtectHerFuture #VaccinateEarly #AyushmanBharat

Read my article in @NewIndianXpress on why tackling #anaemia & nutritional #deficiencies among India’s #children must remain a priority. Full article - newindianexpress.com/web-only/2026/… #WorldAnaemiaAwarenessDay @WHO @UNICEF @UNICEFIndia

TNIE Web-only Column | Iron deficiency remains the most common cause of anaemia, but it is not merely a dietary concern. Poverty, food insecurity, repeated infections, parasitic infestations, poor sanitation, and limited access to quality maternal and child health services all play a significant role. In many rural and underserved areas, awareness itself is a barrier. In many cases, families recognize and seek treatment for anaemia only after it has caused a detrimental and lasting impact. ✍️Dr Naveen Thacker (@naveenthacker) 🔗newindianexpress.com/web-only/2026/…

It was a pleasure to join the ADVAC scientific committee in Paris on 22-23 January 2026 to select the participants for the 2026 cohort of #ADVAC - the 26th edition of ADVAC commences on May 11, 2026 at Les Pensieres, Annecy. I am honoured to be part of the mission . #ADVAC2026

On World Cancer Day, we are reminded that preventing cancer requires more than tools and evidence – it requires leadership that ignites action around a shared goal. The International Pediatric Association and the American Cancer Society are coming together to advance a global effort focused on strengthening HPV vaccination as a cornerstone of cervical cancer prevention. Guided by leadership from both organisations – Prof. Joseph Haddad, President of the International Pediatric Association, Dr. Naveen Thacker, Executive Director of the International Pediatric Association, and Dr. Anu Agrawal, Vice President, Global Cancer Support at the American Cancer Society – this collaboration reflects a shared, long-term commitment to prevention with a truly global reach. 👉 Follow program updates as we work together to advance cervical cancer prevention globally. <<ipa-world.org/increasing-HPV…>> #OneMissionEndCervicalCancer #WorldCancerDay

When we talk about #cancer , we often think of adults. But the truth is #children fight this battle too. Cancer doesn’t mean “cancel” we can #fight! This #WorldCancerDay2026, it’s time our programs & initiatives include #childhoodcancerawareness, support, and hope. @UNICEF @WHO
