![]() I have a patient-centered approach to nursing where I believe in providing the best quality of care to the patients to ensure that their needs are met, and they feel comfortable and supported during their most vulnerable moments. I have worked in some of the most challenging and demanding healthcare environments, including isolated remote islands with no basic facilities, the natural disasters of 2004, and the COVID-19 pandemic, where I had to demonstrate courage, skills, and dedication. I developed trust and became close to them so that it becomes easy for them to share their health problems and receive better treatment. Tribal Women are usually very shy in nature and not able to describe their health problems. In this section, I attend to the referral of PVTGs from different parts of the Islands, from their admission to discharge and after following up to their habitat, doing outreach field visits to their habitat of PVTGs for providing treatment to the tribes, conducting Tribal health camps, multi-specialty health camps, Disease burden surveys, health & Nutrition surveys, all from time to time, along with the ICMR Team and Andaman & Nicobar Tribal Research Institution. During this time, I have gained extensive experience in various fields of nursing. Currently, I am posted in the Tribal Section of the G B Pant Hospital, Port Blair, exclusively for the welfare of PVTGs, which are Jarwa, Onge, Shompen, Andamanese and Sentinels. I am working as a grass-root level worker, an auxiliary nurse midwife in the Health Department of the Andaman & Nicobar Administration for the last two decades.
