A wonderful and productive meeting with Niyati Shah, the Senior Gender Consultant and Team lead of the Office of Maternal and Child Health care and nutrition and the office of the Infectious disease, from USAID, Washington DC. She has come here in Hyderabad to attend the 50th Union World Health Conference on Lung Disease. It was interesting to know that USAID has many projects in different cities in India but hardly any in Hyderabad. We had a lot to discuss regarding Occupational health and it was my work related to Beedi workers and their health issues that was the reason for this meeting. I was very impressed that USAID had a good home work done on my other interest on Gender and Violence, which is their second focus.
