GHHM happened at a time when professionally I had reached a saturation and at a personal level I wanted to make a meaningful contribution to the society I am living in. Working with MSF has always been a dream for me and the GHHM course provided me a means to achieve the dream which had somehow taken a back seat.
The course provides a comprehensive guide to treat infectious diseases and other relevant problems that usually plague a resource limited setting. The lectures were delivered by an excellent panel of specialists, people who have had tremendous experience and command in their respective fields.
The four day long practical session was brilliantly conducted covering all the aspects of the practical part of the course ranging from parasitology to bedside clinics to field visits. Moreover, it also provided me a chance to connect with the wonderful group of GHHM students. The diversity of the group and the zeal and enthusiasm of the other members was refreshing and highly inspiring.
Another excellent part of this predominant online course was the all-time availability of support from the MSF- be it technical, logistic or even moral. You never get a “cannot happen” answer from them.
Overall the GHHM course provides me with an opportunity to try and make the world a better, happier place to live in.
