My First Domestic Work Trip Promoting Health and Wellness
Ha. Dhidhoo | 20-22 October 2024
As part of a multidisciplinary team that included a medical doctor, dietitian, mental health professionals, and public health officers, I travelled to Haa Alif Dhidhdhoo for a health promotion initiative covering tobacco cessation, mental health, and nutrition. This activity was funded by the World Health Organization and organised by the Non Communicable Diseases section of the Health Protection Agency.
This visit provided an opportunity to observe a multidisciplinary approach to health promotion and was especially memorable as my first domestic outreach visit as part of the National Nutrition Programme.
