Healthcare and Women's Health in India: Key Insights and Challenges
Addressing Women's Health Challenges in India
The healthcare landscape for women in India faces significant challenges despite established policies and programs aimed at improving women's health. Gaps in program reach and quality reduce effectiveness, particularly concerning maternal health initiatives and calcium deficiency in women. Approximately 25% of women in reproductive age face under-nutrition, highlighting the urgent need for sustainable solutions to infertility among women.
The Impact of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted ongoing progress in women's health, worsening healthcare access. Continuing research and advocacy on healthcare access for women is crucial. Notable programs like the Surakshit Matritva Aashwasan (SUMAN) and Janani Shishu Suraksha Karyakram (JSSK) focus on maternal healthcare, providing essential services to improve health outcomes.
Future Directions for Women's Health Initiatives
Moving forward, addressing the stigma of infertility and promoting education about maternal health are vital. Enhancing outreach efforts, especially in rural areas, can bridge gaps in service delivery. Increased investment in women’s healthcare is necessary to achieve Sustainable Development Goals, improve quality of life, and reduce economic burdens.
