About GMCH Chandigarh
Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH)
Chandigarh is a prestigious medical institution providing an
excellent academic and scientific environment under dynamic
leadership of our esteemed Director Principal, Professor Atul
Sachdev, GMCH Chandigarh. Mentorship Programs in GMCH
was introduced by our esteemed Former Director Principal,
Professor Raj Bahadur , presently Vice Chancellor, Baba Farid
University of Health Sciences, Faridkot.
Department of Community Medicine, (GMCH)
headed by Professor Naveen K. Goel is actively involved in
multi-dimensional academic and research endeavors and has
undertaken several Research Projects, and also a series of
Seminars, Workshops, Symposiums funded by various
National and International Agencies like ICMR, DST, SERB,
UGC, CSIR , NACO, UNAIDS etc.
Introduction to Symposium:
Adolescents and youths pose a number of reproductive and
sexual health (RSH) challenges. Addressing their needs is a
challenge that goes well beyond the role of health services
alone. Adolescent Friendly Health Services (AFHS) should
be extended beyond health institutions. Extending AFHS
in school or college premises for easy accessibility should
be considered. Mentoring relationships contribute to the
health and well-being of adolescents and young youths.
This Symposium will be useful in suggesting an Adolescent
and Youth Friendly Health Initiative (AYFHI) with
implementation of “mentoring” at school and college levels
as teachers have the potential to serve as effective mentors
in Indian traditions.
Objectives:
This two days Symposium organized by Department of
Community Medicine, GMCH Chandigarh, during
August 27-28, 2015 may be helpful in bridging crucial
gaps in implementation of Reproductive And Sexual
Health (RSH) and other services for adolescents and
youths accepting newer challenges. Participants will get
an opportunity to share their views on RSH needs of
adolescent and youth students, problems encountered in
delivering services, and effective implementation of
mentoring in schools and colleges as a step ahead
towards Adolescent And Youth Friendly Health
Initiative (AYFHI). Also, present symposium will be
beneficial in developing mentorship programs to be
introduced in schools/colleges based on views of invited
participants and experts.
