New Delhi (India), August 9: For long, societal norms and expectations have been assigning women the role of caregivers because of which women’s health and well-being are considered secondary to the responsibilities at home and work. To change this trend for good, women leaders in India have been encouraging conversations on women’s health needs that have been neglected for a long time by setting an example in society. They are introducing and promoting good health practices by leading from the front so that women in all corners of the country are encouraged to keep their health as the foremost priority.
Dr. Indira Hinduja, a leading gynaecologist is known for her work in fertility treatment and women’s healthcare in India. Sunita Narain, an environmentalist and a healthcare practitioner is known for her work on public health in India. Dr. Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, an entrepreneur and a pioneer in the biotechnology industry is known for her work in making healthcare more affordable and accessible. In the sports field, Sakshi Malik a wrestler and Olympic bronze medalist has been associated with campaigns that promote menstrual hygiene and women’s health awareness in India. Just as these women are looked upon for their exceptional in their respective fields, it is necessary that they are also followed for their dedication to healthcare and wellness.
Progress in different aspects of society including women’s rights and gender equality has been rampant but has not guaranteed uniform advancements in women’s health and wellness. There are many factors that pose a challenge including healthcare disparities, work-life balance, cultural factors, societal norms, etc. Women’s health remains a complex issue as access to healthcare services depends on economic factors, education, background, and lack of insurance which ultimately affects the well-being of women. That said, it cannot be overseen that progress is being made in many regions and there are organizations dedicated to working on empowering women’s health and wellness with their products and services.
GenWorks, one of the leading digital healthcare solution providers in India works to make healthcare affordable and accessible. Amongst many other services, the company also sensitizes an increasing number of women about the importance of FemTech by spreading the knowledge of screening, diagnostics, & treatment products, and services to focus on women’s health. FemTech is a wide term used to refer to all kinds of technology-based software, products, and services that can address the gaps in women’s health requirements by offering advanced consumer solutions.

Health problems such as breast and cervix cancer are common diseases in India. In India, a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer every four minutes, and with over 1,78,000 new cases being diagnosed each year, breast cancer has surpassed cervical cancer to become a common disease in women. Breast Cancer and Cervical Cancer have been on the rise in the country and can be attributed to factors such as increased life expectancy, lack of awareness, limited access to screening and vaccination, etc. Efforts are being made to increase awareness, improve screening, and promote HPV vaccination. FemTech also helps tremendously in early detection and improving outcomes for breast and cervical cancer.
FemTech covers all stages of feminine health including menstrual health, pregnancy, fertility, contraception, and more.
