Karnataka to Launch First Dedicated Women's Menopause Health Policy
Karnataka plans to introduce 'Ruthutaare,' a first-of-its-kind women's health policy focusing on menopause-related issues. Health Minister U.T. Khader highlighted the lack of a dedicated women’s health policy in India and emphasized preventive measures and lifestyle management to address mental and physical challenges during menopause. The initiative includes awareness campaigns, training ASHA workers for symptom identification, and appointing actress Ramya as brand ambassador. A policy committee led by Dr. Jyotsna Mirlay will guide the program's development and implementation.
