In a proud moment for both Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, Valiveti Subhavathi, a dedicated public health worker with nearly four decades of service, has been honored with the prestigious Florence Nightingale National Award by the President of India, Droupadi Murmu, at a grand ceremony held in New Delhi recently.
Subhavathi is the only woman from both Telugu States to receive the award this year, making her achievement even more remarkable.
Hailing from Sangam Jagarlamudi village in Guntur district, Subhavathi began her journey in healthcare in 1986 as a Health Assistant in Nadendla Primary Health Centre under Chandavaram Sub Centre of Guntur district. After 12 years, she was promoted as Health Educator and transferred to Nakirekal in the same district. She did a good job there as well and was promoted as Deputy District Extension and Media Officer (Dy DEMO) and posted in Nellore district. Then, she was further promoted as Health Educator Extension Officer (HEEO) and posted in Srikakulam district.
