Pune based, YouthConnect has decided to start an online information and communication dissemination drive about the various aspects of Covid-19. City Rajya Sabha MP Vandana Chavan who had conceptualized this idea, said the drive would try to simplify the jargon surrounding the pandemic and try to help citizens get information in a clear format.
Chavan said while there is overflowing information on social media platforms and elsewhere, there is a lack of collated one stop shop for all information. This purpose will be solved with the virtual platform.
Doctor on Call, is a special feature of this initiative which would see Dr Shishir Joshi, going Live every Saturday 3.00 pm to take questions from people. “In this present age and time, the concept of family doctors is almost gone. What we want to address through this are the common questions people would have, they can range from anything like when to get tested to how to prone properly,” Chavan said.
Chavan said the initiative will also feature sharing of positive stories of survivors. Such examples, she said, would resonate with everyone well and give hope to those who are battling the disease.
To cope up with mental health issues faced amid the pandemic, the platform has plans to diversify into non covid subjects and topics which would help people with stress and loneliness associated with the lockdown.
