Testimonial
After completing masters in Public health from Northumbria University, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, 2021, I was interested in gaining experience in the public health sector. While browsing online for such opportunities I chanced upon FHTS and got enrolled as a V-Inspire Intern. In my two months journey as a virtual intern, I worked on many different projects such as state wise lockdown policies, understanding different countries public health systems, writing blogs for public health related content, preparing presentations and much more.
Working with the team at FHTS has been a very inspiring and positive experience and I hope to gain more knowledge and be able to impart this in health promotion programs etc. The mentors have been really helpful, from solving doubts and queries to guiding me in the projects.
