Question
"women’s health become a matter of great concern'. Defend or refute the given statement with valid argument."
Solution
Women represent nearly half of the Indian population, but they face numerous challenges in health care. Women's health care has traditionally been put on the back burner in India due to social constraints. The country's gender ratio is decreasing. The country's rising rate of female foeticide is also cause for concern. The majority of married women have anaemia and nutritional anaemia, which causes maternal deaths.
