800 women are losing their lives every day...
It has come out in a surprising figure that around 800 women are losing their lives every day around the world. All these women are giving birth to a child or because of the problems related to it, they are giving their hands from life. What is even more frightening in this is that every fifth woman among them is from India. Not only this, seventy percent of women in india die due to non-communicable diseases like heart attack, stroke, respiratory problems.
According to the National Family survey released recently, 51% of India's women in the age group of 15 to 49 are anemic. The World Economic Forum report also states that india is one of the most backward countries in gender equality. The desire of the people in the country is still about sons. Often this desire is seen in the form of discrimination against daughters.
Significantly, the ill effects of women's poor health are not limited to that woman only, but affect the health of the entire family on a large scale. Unhealthy women give birth to low birth weight babies. In this way the health of the whole family is affected in the cycle. The condition of women in villages is particularly deteriorating. These women need health services at the earliest.
Tele-medicine is the solution to such problems. Remote technology system tele-medicine system, which spreads awareness about women's health to a great extent in Uttar Pradesh, works with the help of telecommunication and information technology. This service, running in the name of SMC E-Clinics, helps rural women to get the right advice from expert doctors from any corner of the country through video conferencing and internet service. These SMC E-Clinics are usually run by female rural health practitioners. According to the information, so far more than 60 lakh women have benefited from this in rural areas of Uttar Pradesh.
