Here is another course from @Drishti_Sangath on health communication; see details for registration

Another example of how policies that do not take into consideration realities of rural India adversely affect prospects of rural youth. Good that someone looked into it (may be for some other reason). I hope there will be some course correction.

Cultural safety is not about culture, but about respecting the rights of the marginalised and promoting a reflective practice on how we experts are in a way part of the problem due to our privileges and assumptions. daktre/ಡಾಕ್ಟ್ರೇ Sunil George Ph.D. & co write.
