One step ahead towards our destination !!
Today (10th May,2018) at Assam Medical College and Hospital(AMCH), Dibrugarh we attended the special class and workshop on Menstrual Hygiene organized by the department of Community Medicine mainly for us keeping in mind about the campaign. We reached there by 10:15am and it got started by 10:30am. We were received by the faculty members of the department. Firstly, a short introductory session was being held, addressed by the HoD, Dr.Rupali Baruah. She was a lovely lady who made us comfortable around the other faculty members in the seminar hall. Then we were given a registration form to entry our names for their own record. She introduced the members who were going to make us understand about the dos and donts and many new lessons based on Menstrual Hygiene. Dr. Rupali also spoke to us about why boys too need to know about this rarely discussed topic. And also made a point on why a good communication skill is very important in our society now a days. Then she handed over the workshop to the other members presented there. They were-
Dr.Nabanita Nirmolia, talked on Reproductive System, Male and Female Anatomy.
Dr.Sultana Jesmin Ahmed , talked on Adolescence and Reproductive Growth, Human body development, Phases of life cycle
Dr.Manjit Boruah , talked on the need for discussion on Menstrual Hygiene, promotion of Menstrual Hygiene, Target audience.
Dr.Alpana P.Rabha , talked on Reproductive Tract Infection and Sexually Transmitted Infection
Dr.Pranjal Sonowal, talked on Management of Reproductive Tract Infection and Sexually Transmitted Infection.
We were also informed that they organized workshops and counseling on the same in 10 different schools from Dibrugarh to generate the awareness among the school going children, which we think was a great initiative. The workshop was held for three hours and ended by 1:30pm. We felt lucky enough to get educated by such knowledgeable professors from AMCH, Dibrugarh and to experience all the new things out of our syllabus which we think would definitely help in our coming days.
Lastly, we would like to convey our gratitude towards our Professor In-Charge, Jennifer Shaheen Hussain Ma'am without whom we could not have imagined to reach this level.
Thank you !😊
