The year 2018 distinctively great for me for several reasons.
completing the MPH, joining the doctoral program, publishing a few
papers and making new friends as well as advancing my thought to
make peace with the innr self and the external fields and actors are a
few good thing to name. However, very few thing accompaany us till

the strongest among them.

I got selected as Surveillance Medical Officer in WHO country Office-
India. Though this is not the end, I consider this as a good start for the
Long Public health journey ahead. I am sure, without your kind
support and motivatino, I would not have achieved this. Currently, I
am working as a State Cardiovascular Health Officer for Karnataka in
'India Hypertension Control Initiative' under WHO India. I am proud to
be part of IIHMR - Johns Hopkins family and wish our relationship last
longer and together work for the welfare of people.
