A passionate and dedicated Public Health Specialist and UN civil servant with an MD in Community Medicine and over eight years of experience advancing health equity and improving the well-being of vulnerable populations. As a Health Officer at UNICEF India, I provide high-level technical expertise to State Governments, academic institutions, and private professional bodies, driving the implementation of high-impact interventions that enhance health outcomes for adolescents, mothers, newborns, and children. I have led innovative approaches to strengthen primary health care delivery in Aspirational Districts and supported critical areas such as cold chain and vaccine logistics systems based on Effective Vaccine Management principles, facility-based newborn care and initiatives for road safety and injury prevention. I played a pivotal role working with WHO in the India Hypertension Control Initiative as the program lead in Telangana, where I successfully helped establish decentralized service delivery systems. This involved creating robust frameworks for screening, treatment, and follow-up care at the community level, ensuring improved access to hypertension management services and contributing to better health outcomes for affected populations. Let’s connect to collaborate on initiatives that create a healthier, more equitable world for all.
