Health is an essential component of economic development and there is a strong correlation between health of human population and societal well-being. We cannot just think of the development of the human capital without the development of health and education of the people. However, it is found that although India has made large gains on the health front of its population, there exist wide variations between and within states. While states such as Kerala, Punjab and Tamil Nadu have a very developed health sector and the health indicators of these states are comparable to those of developed middle-income countries, states such as Bihar, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh, Odisha, etc., are almost at the level of Sub-Saharan Africa. By using a few of the key health indicators the present article makes a critical analysis of the health status of people in the 17 major states of India, the ongoing health development programmes and the present state of public health care services in different parts of the country. The article further delves into an arena of specific policy intervention measures that are required to be undertaken in order to increase the health status of people.

Status Of Women

The mountain people, especially the rural women have been the subject of colossal neglect for centuries. In a family, they have different status and role to performed, i.e. mother, daughter, daughter-in-law etc. Their family works are distributed among themselves, according to their position, but the common concern is ‘Drudgery’and Health Status which is widely spread in their life. Frequent pregnancies, coupled with poor diet, result in anemia. Illiteracy among women has added to the problem as most of the rural women are subjected to the various traditional beliefs and health practices. Women share abundant responsibilities to perform a wide spectrum of duties both in the home and outside, but their participation is considered as normal by the society. This paper starts with the concept of status of women , health facilities, and moves on to examine the understanding of health seeking behaviorand social dogmas imposed on women and women perception towards various health issues.
