For all of our glory and progress and "India Rising" campaigns, we are one of the worst countries when it comes to maternal health and the disaster in Chattisgarh where 12 women have died and several more are in critical state, shows the condition of our healthcare.
The government's free sterilization campaign is an aggressive incentive based scheme that pressurizes the poor patients
to get surgeries and not even think about other forms of contraception. 200 women die for every 100,000 giving birth in India compared with China's 37 deaths for every 100,000 and China should not be a benchmark.
The Government and other health policy bodies need to be jolted out of their complacency and take severe measures to ensure health of our women. 83 surgeries were performed in 6 hours and each woman got 20$...Some paid with their lives and others are still hanging in the balance.
