    The Federation of Obstetrics and Gynaecological Societies of India (FOGSI) has launched a campaign to prevent anaemia. This is part of the ongoing ‘Nari Swasthya Janandolan Yatra – Anaemia National Ride’ in partnership with Dr Hrishikesh Pai. The Yatra was started from Rishikesh, Uttarakhand on 28th November 2022, and will cover 5 states and over 20 cities, culminating at Kolkata in the first week of January 2023.

     

    Speaking on organising ‘Nari Swasthya Janandolan Yatra – Anaemia National Ride’, Dr Hrishikesh D Pai, President, FOGSI said: “Taking the mission and vision of FOGSI of advocating and promoting women’s health and reproductive rights forward and considering the dire need of spreading awareness on anaemia amongst women, we have organised the Yatra that will cover 5 states and over 20 cities of India. Mitigating anaemia in India needs a multi-level approach that includes a high level of awareness building, behaviour change communication and challenging societal norms related to women’s nutrition and health needs. This Yatra is part of my Badlaav (Change) – a corporate social responsibility (CSR) campaign focused on advocacy for all aspects of women’s health. The concept is defined by the integration of information, equality in treatment and technology to be accessible for all. Badlaav Clinics will provide free health examinations for women on the 18th of every month.”

    FOGSI – the Federation of Obstetric and Gynecologist Society of India has launched anationwide movement called ‘She Matters’.

     

    Said Dr Rishma Dhillon Pai, President FOGSI:  “She matters is about care, education and transformation of women in urban and rural areas. ‘She Matters’ fashion show is the most unique in the country as gynecologists and celebrities from all walks of life walked the ramp. The need to promote quality health care is of utmost importance to reduce the mortality rate amongst mothers. The upgradation of nursing homes, better infrastructure and education to transform the system is our key objective and we are happy to have the overwhelming support of Shaina N C, Rebeca Dewan and all the celebrities like Pooja Hegde, Soha Ali Khan, Monica Bedi, Swati Wadhwani, Sheeba, Malvika Sharma, Cyrus Broacha etc. who supported us today.”

     

    Added Dr Nandita Palshetkar, President MSR and Organising Secretary of the event: “My walk with Ex Miss World Diana Hayden and her baby Aria was a special part of the show since she was the youngest beauty on the ramp and Diana is currently pregnant with twins. This show brought many doctors and women of substance together on one stage, which will help spread the message of She Matters.”
