" For a country where healthcare is mainly assessed by out-of-pocket expenditures, it is
cheaper and easier to prevent some sicknesses through simple lifestyle modifications than treat them. Thus the HEALTHIER project encourages people to adopts healthier alternatives in living.
During this program, I hope to receive training and recognition necessary for
implementing this project. I will also get valuable
exposure and experience while learning under the guidance and mentorship of
renowned experts. This will provide networking opportunities with a community of
people passionate about redefining healthcare through research in healthcare delivery systems in remote communities. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Healthier: Living now for the future
This is a health-promoting project that aims to create a sustainable health for the future by encouraging individuals to live healthy now and embrace preventive medicine. Amongst several health-promoting activities, it particularly focuses on viral-induced vaccine-preventable cancers like Cervical cancer (HPV) and Liver cancer (HBV) by creating awareness, encouraging screening and providing a link between the community and healthcare provider to vaccinate people. It also focuses on creating awareness about modifiable lifestyle risk factors for Non Communicable Diseases like Obesity, substance abuse, irresponsible alcohol use. This would entail but not limited to encouraging physical exercises among people, organizing rural outreaches, and measuring of blood pressures of individuals.
