Maibam Ranita Devi, a trained nurse working as a community health officer (CHO) at the Health and Wellness Centre (HWC) Awang at Wabagai Leikinthabi village is trying to bring positivity among the patients through her dance movement therapy believing it is making significant improvement.

She said she feels when," When we do DMTsession our entire body becomes active and our minds become more creative which helps me relax, thus I thought of applying to patients those who are in home isolation or community isolation.
