" Community health has become a major focus for governing bodies in recent years, and as medical students, we play a crucial role in fostering a healthier and more sustainable society. However, many challenges remain beyond our immediate control—factors like limited resources, systemic barriers, and the need for collaboration across different sectors. The Millennium Fellowship helps bridge these gaps by providing us with invaluable connections, financial support, and the social networks necessary to overcome these obstacles. It equips us with the tools and opportunities to not only address immediate healthcare concerns but also to contribute to long-term, impactful change. Through this program, we can amplify our voices, scale up our initiatives, and ultimately move closer to achieving our collective goals for a healthier future. "

Millennium Fellowship Project: Project Thrive

People with well-managed diabetes live long, healthy lives. However, in India, more than half of the diabetic population develops debilitating complications of the disease. More than 100,000 legs are amputated due to diabetes annually in India.
There are two reasons behind this problem. One, due to the prevalence of poverty in India, people don't seek medical help unless it is an emergency, leaving the disease to progress undiagnosed.
Two, patients diagnosed with diabetes are unaware of the potential complications, and how they are prevented through timely medication, diet, and lifestyle modifications.
To tackle this problem, we conducted sessions in outpatient departments and surgery wards. Diabetics were counselled on the debilitating complications of the disease, emphasizing the importance of medication and diet in their prevention.
