Dr Sindhu

Dedicated public health professional currently pursuing a Master of Public Health (MPH) at CMC Vellore, with a background in Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) and 18 months of experience as a Community Health Officer under the National Health Mission. Experienced in primary healthcare delivery, community engagement, and implementation of national health programs. My academic and field experiences have shaped my interests in One Health approaches, focusing on the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health, as well as childhood non-communicable diseases (NCDs).

My ongoing MPH thesis on childhood asthma, focusing on awareness and self-management, has further strengthened my interest in early-life risk factors and preventive strategies. I aim to contribute to evidence-based public health research and program implementation.
