New Delhi [India], April 6 (HBTV): On World Health Day 2024, the National Medical Commission (NMC) and the National Task Force on Mental Health and Well-being of Medical Students launched a mental health initiative "My Health, My Rights." 

This effort, coordinated by the Anti-Ragging Committee of the National Medical Commission, aims to address healthcare challenges faced by medical students and professionals alike. 

The demanding nature of the medical profession characterized by rigorous training and long hours, often takes a toll on the physical, mental, and emotional health of healthcare providers. 

Acknowledging this reality, the NMC is dedicated to establishing a comprehensive support system to ensure access to quality healthcare and prioritize the well-being of medical students and professionals. 

The key components of the initiative include mental health support services, confidential counseling, therapy, and resources to address stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges. 

With the theme "My Health, My Rights," individuals are encouraged to take ownership of their health through activities such as exercise, nutrition, meditation, social engagement, and environmental stewardship.

The initiative also introduces holistic wellness programs focusing on physical health, emotional resilience, and work-life balance, including yoga, mindfulness meditation, stress management workshops, and nutritional guidance.
