Programs involving local communities likely to create sustainable outcomes benefiting everyone. We @justkidneying adopted KEEP model by NKF in rural India. Data shows having a PCP aids in detection and treatment of NCDs like DM, HTN and CKD.

Eclipse is temporary 
Moon walks away 
when the inner space is witnessed
'As though' the shadow is lifted
Sun shines brightly 
Now and here at this moment!

A mesmerizing twilight- Solar Eclipse
# Nature is medicine #Eclipse2024
Sky was bright and blue
Streaks of clouds were few
Sun stood ready with a smile
Seeing the moon walking in style

[Varalakshmi Niranjan @docwhopens]

As though' a scissor was applied
Me and mine fell off in a slide
As the past was emptied out
As the future disappeared from sight
I am, the timeless, spaceless, existence
Shines brightly all day and night
