Women have always been known to be caretakers of the family. A woman does everything for the good of her loved ones. They spend more time taking care of others than themselves.
She is the one who always keeps the family healthy, but she has different health needs throughout each stage of her life. Balancing a career and a family is extremely stressful.
Women may suffer from various health issues throughout their lives. It is important for them to take care of their health at every stage of life, from regular health problems to severe problems.
To highlight women’s health and wellbeing, distinguished panelists took part in a webinar organized by Manipal Hospitals Enterprises on the theme of ‘Circle of Care: Women’s Health’.

“A woman’s health is influenced by her personal biology as well as her sociocultural, economic, and physical surroundings. These factors have an impact on the overall quality of their lives. A woman’s well-being is the most important factor above all. At various phases of their lives, women suffer from a variety of healthcare challenges. Today, it’s very important for them to prioritize their health. While much has been said about this, their health has not received the attention they deserve,” read part of a combined statement by all superwomen.
Speaking on the women’s healthcare needs Mr. Karthik Rajagopal, Chief Operating Officer, Manipal Hospitals said, “Every woman, from a little girl to an elderly woman, suffers from several health challenges throughout her life. This webinar is an attempt by Manipal Hospitals to encourage women of every age group to understand the importance of their health and to start a conversation around women’s wellbeing. Manipal Hospitals believes that every woman deserves to live a healthy and happy life.”
