I am an Obstetrician and Gynecologist working at a tertiary care government teaching hospital located in East Delhi, India. The hospital caters to the heavily populated surrounding slum clusters and the Western Uttar Pradesh areas.

The responsibilities and work in the hospital do not allow me enough time to make frequent visits to the community. Over time, I found that the large collection of patients and relatives in the waiting area in the Out Patient Department can easily be approached for health education and awareness building exercises. My interests in the health effects of Smokeless Tobacco Products and being the Officer in charge of two important governments run health programs namely, Prevention of Parent to Child Transmission of HIV/AIDS and the Thalassemia Prevention Programme, I with my team frequently organize impromptu lectures, quiz programmes and street plays. We ensure reward to the winner who performs well after an initial public education talk on health topic e.g. antenatal care, perineal hygiene, basic facts about HIV/AIDS and its transmission, health effects of smoking, smokeless tobacco product use in women and second hand smoking. This has made these programmes hugely popular with enthusiastic participation. A further step for more effective dissemination of information has been by involving the ASHA (Accredited Social Health Activist) workers. This has added the required impact to our efforts especially in the direction of prevention of tobacco use.

I am deeply interested in clinical and systematic research. I am trained in conducting Systematic Reviews. Other than being a Cochrane reviewer and author, I am also a member of the South Asian Cochrane Network.
