STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
“Prevention is better than cure”
I know it’s a cliché but these above words have always been a key point behind my graduation learning. It has helped me frame my targets and reach the goals of my career so far. I have been so blessed to be a part of health education and medicine studies supervised by people with good values and principles. They have supported me in accomplishing the goals I have set forth.
I have been a topper in school as well as in college. In school, I was taught to be inquisitive, and to probe beyond the obvious solutions, to gain a deeper understanding of concepts. Biology and
Mathematics were my favorite subjects as I was fortunate to have teachers who motivated me by drawing parallels between worlds …show more content…
I often wonder when people talk of healthcare pressing issue, I wish they could grasp what it means, what crushing poverty entails, and even what an underdeveloped or a developing nation looks like. In my opinion, Public Health is the most important aspect of Medicine. It can bring solutions to health issues like no other field can. Many people are suffering from negligence in all spheres of their existence as human, especially in the health sector. This could be a result of poor policy and shortsightedness.
I am adamant that changes must come. My studies in public health will go a very long way to help me grasp the proper concepts and tools needed to work to bring sustainable solutions to problems besieging the World Health. I want to go into public health because I strongly believe that I can contribute not only to my people but also to people all over the world. I have seen firsthand, people dying from TB or Cholera, and it made me feel sad. Through proper interventions, planning and implementation of effective policies, I anticipated being able to bring about much-needed change through my work with an NGO or non-profit affiliated with the UN or directly through the …show more content…
My days in the pharmacy department often made me think about the prevention of injuries as well as the injuries themselves. I felt the need of a career that helps a large number of people, emphasizes prevention and primary care rather than tertiary care, and would continually challenge and motivate me to improve. My first true introduction to the public health arena came in a class offered through subject in the eighth semester in my University. As I learned about contemporary health issues from my teachers, I was intrigued to involve myself more with this arena. I saw the range of problems that public health professionals were trying to solve in innovative ways. This one semester class provided me with a basic but thorough understanding of the issues faced in health care today. I welcome the challenge of serving a large community and participating in such dynamic and challenging field. What if abandoning unnecessary procedures saved thousands of dollars, which then allowed a hospital to treat other patients needing care? What if every person was guaranteed care and that care was good? I would like to find answers for these questions during my career as a public health graduate student and professional. I am most excited
