HEALTHCARE & ADOLESCENT GIRLS

young girls and women take a hard hit. There is an institutional disregard for the health and hygiene problems of a girl sex. According to studies found that 88 percent of menstruating women in India use unsanitary materials like old rags, sand or ash to absorb blood. This results in a 70 per cent prevalence of urinary tract infections in young girls. With the unavailability of doctors in rural areas, the health situation of these girls is aggravated further.
