Key Points

  • A perennial bias against the female child has culminated in neglected women's health in India.

  • Pregnancy is 18 times more likely to prove fatal to a woman in a developing country (e.g. India) than one in a non-developing country.

  • A systematic healthcare plan should be implemented to meet the needs of Indian women of all ages.

  • Priority should be given to family planning, alleviating unsafe abortion practices, and correcting anaemia.
