While a good amount of the population is still averting getting tested or even taking a vaccine shot, a three-year-old girl from Nagaland visited the doctor all by herself while her parents were busy at work.
Named Lipavi, the baby girl developed common cold symptoms the previous night. Since her parents had left for the paddy field, she decided to show up on her own for a checkup at the Hebolimi Health and Wellness Center.
Her sense of responsibility did not end with this. She even wore a mask and surprised the medical staff with her appointment.
Soon, the Community Health Officer (CHO) Natsumi HWC, Pughoboto duly checked her.
A photograph of the kid being examined at the doctor’s chamber has gone viral. Even Benjamin Yepthomi, State President, Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM), Nagaland, shared it on Twitter.
“The medical staff were in for a pleasant surprise when 3-year old Miss Lipavi, showed up at the health center. She reportedly had cold symptoms but since her parents had left for the paddy field, she decided to come all by herself for a checkup at the health center (sic),” he wrote.

Netizens have been lauding the little one’s level of awareness and responsibility. Many also praised her parents for teaching and raising her well. Some even urged Modiji to mention the girl in Man Ki Bat.
How sweet and responsible gesture. @narendramodi ji plz mention her awareness in your Mann Ki Baat. My heart goes for all blessings to her. 😍👍👏👏👏👏

God bless her. I hope she feels better soon. Feel proud to see that awareness of the disease has reached even remote villages in India. Take a lesson from little Lipavi folks. Consult a doctor
