Dr Preetha Reddy, Vice Chairperson, Apollo Hospitals discussed about skilling and empowering women on Swasth Bharat, Sampann Bharat telethon

I come from a family of strong women. I think Swasth Bharat has to be a Sampan Bharat because women have to join the workforce. They are strong and capable of working. The DNA of Indian women is to put everybody before her. The focus and communication hasn't been there and that's a low hanging fruit. It has to be communicated that pregnant mother has to be looked after in terms of health. I know health is a state subject. Every state has to be mandated to do for women's nutrition. The drive for vaccination has been at the forefront for women and that has been a pleasant surprise. India has the power of large workforce of being economically self-sufficient. In my dad's village, they did some amazing thing with women that they stopped alcohol. Health and nutrition have to become a natural coexistence for women and I am sure we can do that.
