The day solely dedicated to celebrate the womanhood and to highlight the issues women have to face around the world, be it’s about the violation of their basic human rights, the discriminatory behaviors they had to face in any aspect or it’s about their health. The day is devoted to talk about all these issues of women internationally. Women’s health was the motto for this year Every year the UN sets a motto for women’s day and then according to that it is celebrated. This year the UN decided to talk about women’s health and all the problems regarding to that. Women face multiple health issues but the most major, and crucial of all the problems are child birth and its complications. The countries which are under development and lack a proper medical infrastructure, there the women suffer through a lot of health problems during their gestational period. Lack of awareness is the big killer Apart from lack in the facilities available, the lack of awareness is the bigger killer. Women don’t even know what their problems are, and even if they know they are not aware of their solutions or have the idea that what they should do. In South Asian countries like India and Pakistan women still prefer to go to midwives rather getting themselves checked by the best gynecologist who are practicing in the gynecology hospital nearby. Women’s mortality rate in South Asia during child birth is alarming According to a survey India stands on second place in women’s mortality rate during child birth, right next to Nigeria which is sitting on the first place, whereas Pakistan is standing on the sixth place. The solution for this is to create awareness among the people regarding women health issues and also provide them with better and planned medical infrastructures. MASH is the ray of hope Mukhtar A.
