Language: Interview in English
Location: Video interview with Guest Speaker joining in from Texas, USA.

Peraly Meyer was born in Komla Thabi village of Chandel district, Manipur. She grew up in a destitute family where she had to take turns with her siblings to get formal education. Even though she started in such conditions, Peraly never gave up her education and kept focusing on building herself an honorary career. She is now working as a surgical assistant in Denton Regional Medical Centre, Texas, USA. Since the age of 12, Peraly was always passionate about helping the sick and she was always eager to help whenever her family and relatives got sick and admitted to hospitals.
Because of the open corruption that is prevalent in Manipur, Peraly opted out of paying bribe to get herself a job. She shares about her journey of how she began working towards her career, moving from one place to the other and gaining experience. She worked in various hospitals and soon discovered what she loved. She also gained a lot of experience working at AIIMS, Delhi. From her colleagues at AIIMS, she got to know about the opportunities about applying for jobs abroad.
Peraly also shares about her experience working in the hospitals and the challenges she faces at work. She shares about how she faces the jibes she sometimes receives from either the patients or the relatives and how she handles them by being gentle and calm.

S03E16 FindingTheVoices with Dr. Nabakanta Sharma: Mostly females are undergoing the family planning procedure. Why not male?

S03E16 FindingTheVoices with Dr. Nabakanta Sharma: Mostly females are undergoing the family planning procedure. Why not male?
Guest Speaker :Dr. Nabakanta Sharma, specialist in family planning.
Language: Interview in English
Location: Imphal, Manipur, India

 Dr. Nabakanta Sharma says that with regards to family planning, it is not necessary that only females should undergo the operation. Males can also contribute in family planning by undergoing the sterilization process. But even though male sterilization is much simpler than that in female, mostly females are still undergoing the more complex operation for family planning in Manipur.

In this episode, Dr. Nabakanta Sharma shares about his trip to Europe organized by World Health Organization in the 90’s where he presented some facts and figures about Manipur for the Reproductive Child Health program. He shares about how some staff members of the team came to Manipur and offered him help. He also talks about the wonderful paintings of Europe and how advanced they were in the medical field. He got the opportunity to gain invaluable experience during his time in Europe.

We also get to know about the system of adoption that is prevailing in Manipur. He says that even though there is a system provided by the Government to be followed for adoption, not many people follow this system and instead prefer to finish up the adoption process in a hush. This routine can sometimes turn out to be very unfortunate for some babies, but he says that so far he has been lucky as nothing of such sort has happened in his profession.

Catch up his first part of interview:  S03E15 FindingTheVoices with Dr. Nabakanta Sharma: Family planning, abortion and woman’s heath in Manipur.

S03E15 FindingTheVoices with Dr. Nabakanta Sharma: Family planning, abortion and woman’s heath in Manipur.
Guest Speaker :Dr. Nabakanta Sharma, specialist in family planning.
Language: Interview in English
Location: Imphal, Manipur, India

Dr. Nabakanta Sharma is a specialist in family planning and one of the most dedicated doctors today. He was kind enough to share his story and many important facts about family planning. Family planning is the practice of controlling the number of children one has and the intervals between their births, particularly by means of contraception or voluntary sterilization. It reduces the need for unsafe abortion and prevents unintended pregnancy. It even prevents the death of mothers and children.
