Breast Care Awareness Breast care is a highly sensitive subject. It is understandable that it triggers stress, anxiety and various other intangible emotions, that can’t be explained. That’s why it’s important to talk about it and spread awareness as much as possible. It is rightly said that ‘Prevention is better than cure, but in order to prevent a disease, we need to be aware of it. Not many people know about the disastrous repercussions they can have, by not taking care of their breasts. When you don’t examine your breasts regularly or ignore any lump, it can lead to breast cancer! And while it shows no symptoms in the early stages, it can turn very painful and unbearable very quickly. It is a type of cancer that develops in the breast cells. It can arise in women and rarely in men. Breast cancer symptoms include breast lump, bloody discharge from the nipple and changes in the nipple or breast's shape or texture. A regular examination can prevent cancer and may save your life...

  Swiss Health Foreign Policy   The world is getting increasingly interconnected and this scenario is often presented with a considerable number of challenges as well as opportunities. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted by UN members in 2015, states that health plays a significant role in world development. It calls for multi-sectoral collaboration and policy consistency, which is already in line with the approach that Switzerland has been following already for several years, particularly with reference to Swiss Health Foreign Policy. The Swiss Health Foreign Policy has two major components: First off, it supports further improving the overall health of the Swiss population and the healthcare infrastructure in general. Second, it is designed to contribute effectively to global health. It is focused on securing an individual’s right to health, as well as to other health-related human rights. Switzerland is dedicated to ensuring that each individual ...

  THE FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT TO HEALTHCARE The right to health was first discussed in the WHO Constitution of 1946, which states that the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being. The preamble of this Constitution defines health as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.  Human rights are universal and inalienable, and healthcare is one of them. It must apply equally, to all people, everywhere, without any discrimination. Human Rights standards – to food, health, education, to be free from torture, inhuman or degrading treatment – are also interrelated. The improvement of one right facilitates the advancement of the others. Likewise, the lack of one right has harmful effects on the attainment of another.  Out of all the nations of the world, the one in question and possibly, an ideal model for other countries, is Switzerland. Switzerland h...

It’s okay to not feel okay: An insight into the mind and mental wellness.  Mental health has been a stigma in our society for a time longer than I can imagine. In this fast-paced world, where everything is turning digital and there’s lesser human contact, I find myself lost among crowds, often craving a simple conversation. The biggest impact that it has had is probably on how I feel during my alone time- on the subway, in restaurants, at my work desk and at the mall. The world seems to be moving faster than I am, and every day seems like a new challenge to complete. I was diagnosed with chronic anxiety last year, after a major breakdown I had in front of my spouse. That was a warning signal that something was wrong, after which, we decided to seek professional help. I knew that this wouldn’t come as good news to a lot of my loved ones, but to this day, I’m glad that I made that decision. Over a year of therapy and constantly educating myself, I’ve realised that your mind is a...

Sports have been a significant part of my life since I was a child. The adrenaline rush, the sweat, the thrill of making it to the top, playing to win and winning it- it was all I lived for. With a sudden turn of events, my ambition took a back seat, and quite ironically, now each day starts with an hour-long warm up- not because I’m stepping out on the field- but to be able to function through the day.    After a running injury, I ignored my symptoms for a long time. My foot had experienced a sudden impact, because of which I experienced a serious injury. I didn’t pay it any heed for months- the hunger of beating my track record surpassed my care for my own well being.   A year after the injury and after long, futile months of taking painkillers, my journey has led me to today, where I sit in a beautiful, pristine office in the middle of Switzerland, rid of my worries. The view of the lakefront and the fresh air of the city takes me back to simpler times and reminds me t...
