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. We at ICanCaRe aim to take all healthcare professionals into the ambit of Tobacco Cessation through Education and reach this service to every person in the country and not leave anyone
behind.

ICanCaRe’s #advisequittobacco campaign likely emphasizes the importance of advising and supporting individuals in their journey to quit tobacco. This campaign likely includes a multi-faceted approach, such as public awareness, educational materials, counseling support, and community engagement to encourage individuals to quit tobacco consumption.

Tobacco use is a pressing global health challenge, leading to numerous health issues and premature deaths.
