New 'Woman Health Line' Launched Under Mission Shakti's Fifth Phase

The Uttar Pradesh government has launched a dedicated health helpline for women, 'Woman Health Line,' as part of its 'Mission Shakti' program. The helpline aims to provide accessible healthcare support, including tele-consultations with gynaecologists. This initiative addresses the healthcare needs of women, especially in rural areas where specialized medical care is limited.

The Uttar Pradesh government has introduced a new health helpline for women, named 'Woman Health Line,' under the fifth phase of its 'Mission Shakti' initiative.

According to an official statement, the helpline will function similarly to the existing '1090' Women Power Line, focusing on providing accessible healthcare support to women. This service is particularly designed for women who face social stigmas that prevent them from discussing health issues openly.

Key features of the new helpline include tele-consultations with gynaecologists, offering expert medical advice without requiring women to travel long distances. This is especially crucial for women in remote areas with limited access to specialized medical care.
