About the #SochSamajhKe Fellowship

The #SochSamajhKe Fellowship is a writing cohort designed to bring together young voices to document how people make decisions about their health, especially when dealing with common illnesses and antibiotic use.

Participants will explore real-life experiences from homes, cities, and communities. The fellowship encourages storytelling around everyday situations, such as self-medication, skipping prescriptions, or stopping antibiotics midway.

Through this initiative, fellows will contribute to spreading awareness about antimicrobial resistance and responsible antibiotic use.

About the Campaign

The #SochSamajhKe campaign focuses on raising awareness about antimicrobial resistance (AMR), a growing global health challenge caused by the misuse and overuse of antibiotics.

The campaign encourages three simple habits:

Ask First – Seek medical advice before taking antibiotics
Finish Fully – Complete the full prescribed course
No Leftovers – Avoid storing or sharing antibiotics

Through storytelling and lived experiences, the campaign aims to inspire mindful health choices and responsible medication practices.
