Why am passionate about the Ersilia documentation project.

I think this is a great project to be a part of because healthcare is a global issue. During the pandemic everyone has faced a lot of problems, some situations are out of our control too. I am very much interested in this domain and want to explore more so, I choose this project to worked on. This is the best project where I can learn technical, documentary and designing skills.
