Karnataka to Launch State-wide Campaign Addressing Perimenopause and Menopause
Karnataka plans to launch 'Ruthu Thare,' a state-wide campaign addressing perimenopause and menopause, led by a committee of health experts and supported by ASHA workers conducting door-to-door surveys. The initiative includes awareness on symptoms, nutrition, and exercise, with actress Divya Spandana as brand ambassador. While the policy marks a significant step in women's health beyond reproductive years, some experts note gaps in data, particularly regarding early surgical menopause, suggesting further research is needed to tailor interventions effectively.
