Ms. Shriyuta is a dentist by profession working at Gadhchiroli. She works as a research fellow in an NGO. She has been interested in dentistry since day one. In her third year, she decided to do something in public community service, as she loved it. She never saw herself having her own clinic but working in public community service. Public health is healthcare available for everyone, appropriate, and free for everyone. It starts with prevention and gets widened care without any questions asked. Healthcare in India is medicalized making people think that it is technical stuff. It is a larger structure that defines the health status of a person. Healthcare is often seen as political too. It has a broader sense than policies, laws, management, health economics, social and behavioral sciences, and political sciences. Public Healthcare is what Ms. Shriyuta is passionate about and she strives hard to work in that field. Talking about social justice, Ms. Shriyuta says that it has always been denied in India for very long. This is why people had to fight for independence in history, but not much has changed. Even today, the general public has to fight for social justice in public healthcare. Ms. Shriyuta says that public healthcare should be prioritized on a larger scale in India. Ms. Shriyuta added that other developing countries spend more on their healthcare rather than other things such as defense. She says that healthcare should be free of cost and accessible to everyone. There should be more concern about why doctors are not willing to work in remote areas and why healthcare is so degrading in India. She also talked about difficulties faced by the general public during the pandemic and how people died due to a lack of healthcare management. In India, many girls are forced to listen to their parents without considering their opinion. The Legit Talks asked Ms. Shriyuta about her views on this topic. She said that parents and even society as a whole have to change their perspective. Many girls are even forced to get married at a very young age shattering their dreams. What people would say should stop concerning you. For such girls, Ms. Shriyuta has a message: communicate your needs and dreams with your loved ones. Share with them how you feel and what you want to become. Educating the parents is also important so that they understand their child’s point of view. Ms. Shriyuta appreciates the efforts of The Legit Talks as it gives chance for ordinary people to tell their stories. The people also get inspired and get to learn about life.
