Singapore, December 3: Solas Fiduciary Services (Solas), a privately owned leader in directorships & corporate governance, continues to strengthen its presence in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) with the appointment of Craig Roberts to its team of independent directors.
Craig has over 30 years' experience in the financial services industry globally, having held senior positions in fund management firms, investment banking, and fund administration. He is keenly involved in the development of practices and the evolving landscape of financial services in the Middle East, having been residing in Dubai for the last 20 years.
"We are delighted to welcome Craig, a seasoned industry veteran, to Solas," said Martin O'Regan, Managing Director at Solas Fiduciary Services. "This expansion enables us to extend the trusted services we provide in Singapore and Hong Kong to clients entering the Middle East.

Study by Indian Body, Center for Chronic Disease Control Reiterates Link Between Lower Salt Intake and Reduced Hypertension & Cardiovascular Disease

New Delhi [India], December 5: A new study by the Centre for Chronic Disease Control (CCDC) for the first time concurrently estimated the daily salt and iodine consumption levels of the adult population in India and examined the effect of the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended salt intake levels on iodine levels. The study demonstrated that in India, where universal salt iodization is mandatory, a reduction in salt intake to the Government of India's National Multisectoral NCD Action Plan and WHO-recommended levels of <= 5 g/d does not compromise the level of iodine intake. This was measured by the gold standard method of collecting and analysing 24-hour urine samples for salt intake and iodine intake by measuring Urinary Iodine Concentration (UIC) and urinary iodine excretion (UIE). These findings provide strong support for the current recommendations to reduce population salt intake to prevent hypertension and cardiovascular diseases (CVD), which are rapidly increasing in India. Notably, salt reduction is unlikely to impact iodine supplementation efforts, indicating compatibility between the two interventions, which should be continuously monitored through robust surveillance. The study can be accessed here.
