Set up Tobacco Cessation Centres: NMC asks all medical colleges

Aiming to reduce the practice of tobacco usage in the country, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has asked all the medical college hospitals across the country to set up “Tobacco Cessation Centres”

The Commission has suggested setting up such centres as a special clinic operated by the Department of Psychiatry or other departments. Further, NMC has directed establishing such centres in the rural and urban health centres that the college has adopted for training.
