of Professor Dr Arun Kumar Aggarwal and in collaboration
with Swami Devi Dyal College of
Nursing,
Barwala, District Panchkula celebrated World Population Day in Rehana-a Minority Population dominated
village in Raipur Rani block of Panchkula district. A total of forty
females in their reproductive age group (15 to 49 years) were educated about the various types of contraceptives available, their
effectiveness, side effects, so that the females could make an informed choice
of the same.
PGI teammates Dr Kanica Kaushal, Senior Resident and Mrs
Jagdeep Rana, Multipurpose health worker posted in Village Kheri, counselled
women for appropriate contraceptive methods best suited for them.Nursing students
under the mentorship of Principal Dr. Saroj Parwez
and Miss Kalpana Mohan prepared a skit showing that family life with one or two children is happy and
fulfilling, enabling them to do things not otherwise possible within a larger
family. Sarpanch of Rehana village Alamgir actively mobilised the
community and is keen for further such activities in Rehana.
Taking this collaboration forward, we are planning
to conduct sensitisation programmes in the
upcoming Nutrition week in the first week of August to create awareness and
bring about behavior change in this community.
