Karnataka Plans Comprehensive Women's Health Policy Covering All Life Stages
Karnataka's government, led by Health Minister U T Khader, plans to develop a dedicated women's health policy addressing all life stages. The policy aims to reduce infant and maternal mortality, integrate existing schemes, and expand services like Tele-ICU and specialist appointments in taluk hospitals. While maternal healthcare has improved, gaps remain in areas such as cancer screening and geriatric care. An expert committee will formulate the policy, followed by establishing a separate department to oversee implementation.
