Pioneering public health through - “Community Adoption Program for Postgraduates

Abstract

Achieving the highest level of health is a fundamental human right, attainable through a multifaceted approach that includes the active engagement of professional manpower. Under the ‘Community Adoption Program for Postgraduates (CAPP),’ postgraduate students from the Department of Community Medicine at R. D. Gardi Medical College are assisting local communities in addressing their own health issues to achieve the Government of India’s vision of a “Healthy Village” via achievement of relevant Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through this initiative, these students are also gaining valuable experience and skills necessary to become effective public health experts.
