CT Public School organized a seminar on health education for the girls of classes VI - IX. Dr. Niharika Joshi, gynaecologist and obstetrician from Global Hospital addressed the students and gave them a word of advice on general health and problems related to ladies.
Dr Joshi said that the health status of women directly reflects the health status of the nation. The concept of women’s health today has become a major concern among the developing countries because of deteriorating quality of life. India has made considerable progress in social and economic development in recent decades, like improvement in life expectancy, but infant mortality and illiteracy demonstrates it lagged behind in the improvement of women’s health.
Women are probably dying because she has been ignorant regarding access to medical treatment on time. Women’s health is compromised at practically every step in life. From womb to tomb, women are made to pay dearly for their women-hood and unless some steps are taken to make people appreciate human rights issues related to women’s health, women will continue to die.
Disease and disorders of the female reproductive system threaten the physical and emotional health of many women. The common diseases that occur in the age group of 41 to 60 years are infections of the reproductive tract, menopause, genital organ prolapse, abnormal uterine bleeding, the genital malignancy and fibroid uterus.She stressed on the importance of personal hygiene which is detrimental to abate them. She informed them about various vaccines available to avoid the deadly diseases.
