NFHS-6 dropped 43 indicators, including all anaemia, cancer screening, and HIV awareness measures, sparking concerns of data suppression. Critics say tracking programme inputs without outcomes undermines accountability. The omissions follow disputes over NFHS-5 anaemia findings and the suspension of IIPS director KS James, raising fears about government control over independent health surveys.

Despite no approved vaccine or treatment, doctors say early supportive care is helping patients survive. Health experts warn the virus continues spreading rapidly, while violence, misinformation, and attacks on health centres are complicating outbreak response efforts.
A new experimental pill called daraxonrasib has shown promising results in advanced pancreatic cancer patients, nearly doubling survival time compared to chemotherapy. Researchers say the targeted drug blocks a key cancer-driving mutation found in most pancreatic tumours. Experts believe the breakthrough could transform treatment options for one of the world's deadliest cancers.
Brazil is probing two suspected Ebola virus cases in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, local health authorities said.

Google's Debug Project, under which it's planning to release 3.2 crore bacteria-infected mosquitoes in US, is aimed at developing technologies to reduce populations of disease-carrying mosquitoes. The project uses the idea of Sterile Insect Technique, where the concept is to raise sterile males and release them into wild insect populations. Its motto is "Let's stop bad bugs with good bugs".
In a first, the liver and both kidneys of a genetically modified pig were transplanted into a 53-year-old brain-dead man in China. The transplanted pig organs showed no complications in the first 24 hours. But after 36 hours human cells began replacing pig cells in liver and kidneys, suggesting that the man’s immune system had detected the organs were foreign.
Sitting less and moving more during the pregnancy could lower the risk of complications by 50%, a study has claimed. Around 42% of participants who were sedentary for 10 hours or more a day experienced a complication. Meanwhile, among the women who sat the least, fewer than one in five experienced complications. Even standing instead of sitting reduces the risk.
Google is seeking federal approval to release 3.2 crore bacteria-infected mosquitoes across California and Florida over the next two years. This is part of an effort to reduce the spread of mosquito-borne diseases, including dengue and Zika. When the Wolbachia-infected male mosquitoes mate with wild female mosquitoes, the offspring don't survive, helping suppress mosquito populations over time.
