When you know you made it but it's a false alarm.

I completed my Medicine from medical school from Kathmandu University Nepal and I thought I gained the epitome of knowledge when I faltered a year before. The work I did in Jivdaya foundation NGO made me realise that how public health roots are more important to be thoroughly understood than to the clinicals. Though I faced difficulty in learning quite a few concepts behind the public health government policies regulation and policies formulation, the best part was to know the technical aspect through finance management and impact evaluation. Sensitivity analysis of the programmes implemented and cost effective and cost benefit analysis of the programmes let us know the depths of impact evaluation. Though public health has not come full blown in our country but one has to realise that public health is backbone to strengthen our frailing health system. This is because public health is not only about data and numbers as is the notion but is much more beyond that.
