Resource person and senior nurse of Atoizu PHC, Mrs Tozheli Awomi, spoke on the topic ‘Health and hygiene.’ In her talk, the resource person strongly advocated that the health of women determine the asset of a nation. She advised that women should always keep themselves healthy in order to shoulder any eventuality that might arise out of any situation especially at home.
Stating that every woman should make use of the freely available government schemes like NHM, the resource person encouraged the young mothers to immunise their child in order to enable them live a healthy life when they grow up. She also demonstrated on the technique of hand washing to the participants.
