Students with effective messages on road safety approached two-wheeler riders who were not wearing helmets and four-wheeler drivers who were not wearing seat belts to pass on the message on the importance of wearing helmets and seat belts along with the other road safety measures. Students also performed small skits on the road when the traffic signal was in stop mode.

Since its announcement in Budget 2018, Ayushman Bharat has received considerable attention.

This presentation by Ketki will give a brief overview of the design and implementation of PMJAY, a financial protection scheme which aims to cover 10 crores vulnerable families.
As a matter of health and social justice, health research should improve the health and well-being of those considered disadvantaged and marginalised and foster their engagement in all phases of its conduct. Such communities’ engagement in priority-setting is a key means for setting research topics and questions of relevance and benefit to them. However, without attention to dynamics of power and diversity, their engagement can lead to presence without voice and voice without influence. What is needed to give marginalised communities a voice in agenda-setting for health research projects? In this talk, Bridget will present the findings of conceptual and empirical research that address this question. Key ethical considerations for sharing power with community members that should be taken into account before, during and after priority-setting will be identified and discussed.
Based on the health advocacy programs carried out at Rhodes University as a collaboration between Faculty of Pharmacy and Rhodes Business School, this seminar explores the advantages and outcomes of Servant leadership principles in this setting.
