Dr. P. Neeraja
Abstract :
Children and women comprise vulnerable populations in terms of health and are gravely affected by the impact of gender inequalities. More newborns die on the first day in India than in any other country. According to the latest State of The Worlds Mothers 2013 report, every year, over 309,300 children (29% of global share) in India dont live beyond the first day because of complications associated with preterm birth, hygiene and maternal health. Similarly, every year more than a third of a million women die from complications during pregnancy and childbirth, the vast majority in developing countries. This means at least one woman dies every 90 seconds. At the country level, India accounted for 19% (56,000 in numbers) of all global maternal deaths. Hence this paper critically analyses the state of mother and child in India and formulates suitable strategies to ameliorate the situation.
