Aakriti Roy is a third-year MBBS student at Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Sevagram.She is learning to listen to patients’ stories, trace the systems that shape our lives, and discover how public health weaves into it all—while finding her way through small steps of research and learning in between.
