Application Letter For The Master Of Public Health Program...

My name is Pratik Dey Sourav, and I am applying to the Master of Public Health program at New York University.

That said; recent initiatives in public health have yield astonishing improvements in maternal health, infant mortality rates and general community health awareness. In particular, during my first WHO-sponsored project in which I studied maternal mortality in rural Bangladesh, I surveyed one of the most underdeveloped and underprivileged areas of Bangladesh, called ‘Palash Bari’. What I saw there was nothing short of amazing. A village, where even a basic necessityShow MoreRelatedCareer Plan Assignment.
