The maintenance of health depends on the promotion of wellness as to combating of disease. Studying and practicing medicine over the years, I learned the absolute need for, and intrinsic rewards of broadening my perspective on health-related issues affecting the community. Treating individual patients in clinical practice alone cannot apprehend the larger goal. I have a profound interest in the well-being of children, women, family planning and preconception care.

The reason behind this thought was - no science is complete in itself every science has its limitations. I believe in order to provide better health to the patient, it is very important for all the medical fields to go hand in
