Dr Geetanjali’s Tale of Empowering Youth
Dr. Geetanjali Singh is known for helping families with health check-ups, vaccinations, screening for cervical cancer and family planning. She often talks to husbands and wives about family planning.
Her dedication extends beyond the confines of the health center, especially when addressing the delicate issues of adolescent health.
Realizing that boys are not easily open to discussing sexual issues, Dr. Geetanjali extends her reach into schools and colleges, engaging boys above class eight in open discussions on crucial topics. Her efforts are transformative; the footfall of boys seeking information and guidance increases significantly.
"When a boy visits, I ensure him that things will remain confidential. I have placed a condom box outside the facility, fostering a stigma-free environment where young individuals can access condoms without hesitation. This has increased the footfall of boys, who now bring their friends to the center for discussions on mental and sexual health," shares Dr. Geetanjali.
Dr. Geetanjali Singh's dedication exemplifies the profound impact one individual can have on the well-being of an entire community, transforming healthcare from a service to a shared journey toward a healthier, more connected society. TCI India is proud to work with her in Chitwapur, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh.
Dr. Geetanjali recognizes adolescence as the opportune age to introduce individuals to contraceptive methods. Implementing separate sessions for boys and girls during monthly adolescent health days, she navigates the sensitive landscape of sexual and reproductive health.
