What We Do

Contributing to national and international tobacco control and cessation research through evidence-based, multi-country collaborations aligned with the World Health Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control.

SDG 3.a — Tobacco control

Supporting the holistic needs of childhood and adult cancer survivors through comprehensive survivorship programmes focused on nutrition, physical health, mental health, psychosocial well-being, rehabilitation, and healthy lifestyle practices. Our initiatives aim to improve long-term health, enhance quality of life, and facilitate successful reintegration into everyday life.

SDG 3.2 — Child health

Generating high-quality evidence to shape national and global public health policies through research, implementation science, and policy advocacy. Our work spans tobacco control, sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) research, HPV vaccination, cancer prevention and survivorship, non-communicable diseases (NCDs), and health systems strengthening, translating scientific evidence into impactful policies and programmes that improve population health.

SDG 3.8 — Universal health coverage

Supporting HPV vaccination initiatives to improve access among childhood cancer survivors, children with bleeding disorders, and other underserved or high-risk populations, contributing to the prevention of HPV-related cancers and advancing vaccine equity.

SDG 3.b — Vaccine access

Building the capacity of healthcare professionals through evidence-based training, virtual knowledge-sharing, and mentorship. Our flagship Cancer Survivorship Capacity Building Programme equips frontline healthcare workers with the knowledge and skills to deliver comprehensive survivorship care. Implemented across eight Indian states and continuing to expand, the programme is creating a growing network of professionals advancing prevention, early detection, survivorship, and quality cancer care across the country.
