" As a future doctor, I'm passionate about providing accessible healthcare to all without discrimination. Being a Millennium Fellow creates opportunities to network and amplify our project's target populous — 1 Billion people who are obese, having an increased risk of developing disorders, especially devastating are the reproductive disorders like PCOS. Screening adolescents and young adults, and making the community aware of such problems becomes key in uplifting many from the social stigma they face, and creating a society that is accepting of the problems they face, and overcoming them as one big family!

Millennium Fellowship Project: Project 1Billion

PROJECT 1BILLION focuses mainly on the Impacts of obesity on reproductive health. According to WHO, the number of obese people in the world is approximately 1 billion. A very important impact that will be given extra focus will be Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), which is a hormonal disorder, which has its onset during adolescence and gradually progresses. This is usually seen in women who have a similar family history, have Type II Diabetes Mellitus or have a very poor lifestyle. Poor lifestyle and unhealthy eating habits may lead to obesity. So lifestyle and obesity are important risk factors for reproductive diseases in both males and females. In males, obesity may increase the risk of infertility and other related sexual issues. This project therefore aims at educating the boys and girls of the reproductive age group about the risk factors like obesity that may predispose them to reproductive issues like PCOS in women or infertility. This project also aims at encouraging girls to look out for warning symptoms of PCOS and importance of getting tested immediately. It educates them about the management of the symptoms of the disease and necessary lifestyle modifications like daily exercise to cut down on excess weight.
