Tobacco-warnings

 

On the occasion of WorldHeadandNeckCancerDay,HCG Oncology, organised a press meet in collaboration with Pink Hope Patient Support Group, to discuss the preventive aspects of cancer with a focus on head and neck cancers. The event was joined by Institute of Public Health India and cancer survivors to support the cause, who shared their stories of survival from cancer caused due to tobacco consumption.

Preventive public health measures such as larger pictorialwarnings on tobacco products was discussed and a petition to thank the government for implementing effective warnings was shared which has already reached around 9,000 supporters.
