- Well Being assessment in Urban slum settings of New Delhi (Delhi)
In the course of 2 months, I have improved on my communication and observation skills, with that I have learnt new skills like policy briefing and team work. I had the opportunity to attend health camps and slum visits organized by the organization. By working in the camps, I got exposure of the lifestyle differences of different people and slum visit I observed many social determinants and their relation to the health of slum people.
My individual working project was “well-being assessment in slum setting”, that’s helping me to understand good health and well-being. Now, I have better understanding of public health. I am very thankful to Dr. Ashish Joshi and the staff for guiding and supporting me throughout my journey in FHTS.
