ADVISE QUIT TOBACCO CAMPAIGN

Dr. Pawan Gupta, M.Ch. in Surgical Oncology and Founder Director of ICanCaRe, along with his role as Senior Director of Surgical Oncology at MAX Institute of Cancer Care, is a MASTER trainer for Tobacco Cessation Intervention in India. He’s a pioneer in promoting Tobacco Cessation intervention within the medical community and beyond. Dr. Gupta’s #advisequittoabcco campaign urges healthcare professionals to tackle the root cause of various diseases by motivating patients to quit tobacco through the “ASK, ADVISE, and REFER” approach to a Tobacco Cessation specialist. Dr. Gupta emphasized that no disease can be fully cured if the patient continues to consume tobacco. It is both a moral responsibility and ethical practice for all healthcare professionals to incorporate Tobacco Cessation.

NEWER STRATEGIES TO IMPROVE QUIT RATE TO 100%

During his talk on “NEWER STRATEGIES FOR TOBACCO CESSATION,” Dr. Gupta presented how the #ABCDtobaccocessation approach has achieved a 100% quit rate. The ICanCaRe Tobacco Cessation protocol, which includes specific medicines and a holistic approach with active intensive follow-up, has proven successful in helping patients quit tobacco. Dr. Gupta also demonstrated TrisCaRe the innovative mouth-opening device for betel nut users.

CAPACITY BUILDING FOR TOBACCO CESSATION INTERVENTION

The #ICanCaReAcademy (www.icancare.in/academy) is dedicated to capacity building for Tobacco Cessation Intervention and has called upon IAPSM to collaborate in creating a significant impact on society. The #SAVEtheyouth initiative encompasses 360 interventions, targeting all aspects of society for effective tobacco control in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals.

Recognizing tobacco as a complex disease and the root cause of numerous health issues, ICanCaRe’s capacity-building program aims to reach across India through the #SAVEtheyouth campaign. The SAVE the Youth program involves sensitizing against tobacco, assisting users to quit through a digital protocol intervention, building a network of Tobacco Marshals, Tobacco Ambassadors, and Tobacco Cessation Specialists, and enforcing a tobacco-free society.

Dr. Gupta’s extensive research has led to the establishment of a simplified digital Tobacco Cessation protocol, and he is also the author of several books on this subject. Through the ICanCaRe Academy, over 1,000 doctors have been trained on successful ICanCaRe protocols for effective tobacco quit programs.

ICanCaRe extends its gratitude to the organizing team of the 6th IAPSM NEZCON, especially Dr. Suneela Garg and Dr. Tulika Goswami, for the invitation to this enlightening conference.

With the program of empowering women as TOBACCO MARSHALs, ICanCaRe’s involvement underscores their dedication to addressing the critical issue of tobacco use and its impact on public health.

ICanCaRe is a change maker as we assessed the skill gap and came up with the idea of transformation of health and well-being of people exposed to / and using all forms of tobacco by providing a solution through education of HCPs in tobacco cessation. The Digital ICanCaRe Tobacco Wellness app makes the business model sustainable with an ability to reach even the underserved community.

ICanCaRe is conscious of our role in SDG 8,10,11,14,15,16 and 17 which are indirectly related to health while we can positively impact SDG 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 as we work specifically with SDG No 3a and 5.
