Public health professional with over 3 years of experience in programme planning, management, monitoring and evaluation of programme effectiveness to ensure optimal outcomes. Proficient in utilizing epidemiological principles and statistical analysis to develop clear and data- driven strategies with expertise in formulating evidence-based advocacy initiatives to promote public health and immunization. Adept at engaging with stakeholders to foster collaborative partnerships and drive impactful healthcare initiatives.

Throughout my career, I've been deeply involved in public health and healthcare management, with a focus on immunization, maternal health, and overall healthcare program improvement. Currently, as a Senior Consultant in Immunization at the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare in New Delhi since October 2021, I've led the development of a comprehensive roadmap for Measles and Rubella elimination, facilitated vaccination campaigns, and played a crucial role in launching vaccination initiatives. My responsibilities also included creating effective communication materials and monitoring tools. In my prior role as a Postgraduate Medical Officer in Maternal Health in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, from October 2020 to September 2021, I managed reproductive and maternal health programs, conducted assessments of maternal mortality cases, and conducted capacity-building sessions for frontline workers. My work as a Resident Medical Officer at Gandhi Medical College in Bhopal from June 2017 to May 2020 involved identifying and addressing gaps in healthcare program implementation, organizing awareness campaigns, and actively contributing to COVID-19 response efforts. My career has been characterized by a strong commitment to improving public health outcomes through policy formulation, program management, and hands-on healthcare interventions.

My educational journey has been deeply rooted in the field of medicine, with a strong academic focus. I pursued my MD (Doctor of Medicine) in Community Medicine at Gandhi Medical College under Madhya Pradesh Medical Science University, where I achieved the honor of securing the first position in the university. My thesis, which explored the prevalence of child abuse among school-going adolescents in Bhopal, MP, reflects my commitment to addressing critical health issues. Prior to my MD, I completed my MBBS at Peoples College of Medical Science, affiliated with Barkatullah University, Madhya Pradesh. During my MBBS, I received distinctions in Anatomy, Biochemistry, Physiology, and Pharmacology, underscoring my dedication to mastering the foundational aspects of medical science. These educational experiences have equipped me with a strong foundation in healthcare and a passion for public health research and practice.
