Prez Murmu urges families to encourage women to speak up about their health issues

BENGALURU: President Droupadi Murmu urged people on Friday to encourage women in their households to openly discuss their health-related issues.

Many times, women in a family do not receive timely diagnosis and treatment for their health issues. This may be due to traditional mindsets where addressing their health concerns is not a priority for the family, including the women themselves. Such delays, especially in cases of cancer, can be critical, said Murmu, delivering the key-note speech after inaugurating KLE Cancer Hospital in Belagavi.

She also emphasised that society, as a whole, needs to take women’s health more seriously and actively contribute to their care, ensuring they receive timely and appropriate treatment.
