" "Not addressing inequities and not assuring opportunities for the most vulnerable in our society actually harms us all"
Addressing the unique issue of this health inequalities in our communities is a very crucial issue that needs to be attended to. That's why me and my colleagues as medical students are planning to create awareness among health workers and also planning to increase health literacy in the affected communities. Since the Millennium Development Goals set time bound targets, by which progress in promoting gender equality, health equity, education and environmental sustainability and this also aligns with my goal in impact in a positive way on our society. Through their mentorship, my goal in eradicating health inequalities and increasing health literacy in our society can be achieved and come to life. "
