Need For Equality In Womens Healthcare: Expert

Pune, Mar 7 (UNI) Gender inequality is a scourge, existing even today in India. Women in India have lived and continue to live in a deep-rooted patriarchal society.
Traditional social customs are entrenched in Indian families to such an extent that women subconsciously believe that their male counterparts deserve to get a bigger and better share with respect to food, education, property, access to health care. As a result, their own health takes a backseat with time. They are not empowered to take decisions and seek health care, further worsening their health. Multiple efforts, at national and global levels, continue to be directed toward women empowerment, addressing their health problems as well as other sociocultural issues. However, until and unless families and communities proactively take it upon themselves to change their attitude toward women's status in the community, this will only be an illusion. To turn this illusion into reality, we need a rigorous and sustained push toward gender equality and empower women to care for their health as much as they care for the health of their loved ones, said Dr Naresh Purohit, Advisor-
Reproductive Health and Child Health Programme .
