This year was marked by national and regional consultations, high-impact plenary sessions and conferences, World No To***co Day national summits, the milestone of 40 editions of To***co Free Times, 80+ capacity-building activities, structured Basic and Advanced Courses on To***co Control, progress on WHO FCTC Article 5.3, and a growing RCTC knowledge platform with national and global reach. Each milestone reflects the shared efforts of policymakers, researchers, medical institutions, civil society organisations, youth leaders, and global partners.
