Health of women has a profound effect on the health and welfare of communities. It is a sad reality that a large number women in India have limited or no access to essential health care services and nutrition.
Women as a gender is neglected in approx. 90% of the families in respect to their physical and mental health mainly due to ignorance about the subject. Women being the caregivers for their families are often not able to take care of themselves owning to lack of time or resources. This negligence leads to a disturbed family life for most of the members as the women will be subjected to ailments from a very young age most likely post child birth.
It is not known by many that women are more susceptible to non-reproductive health issues such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, mental illness, diabetes and osteoporosis as compared to men.
Hence, women need more of health care and definitely more access to the health care system than men do, however, this need is often ignored by the family and the society at large.
