Their tireless work and spirit of service not only improve patients' lives but also serve as an inspiration for future generations, she added.

She expressed confidence that the hospital, along with their dedicated women medical professionals, will continue to play an important role in raising awareness about health and building a healthier, more informed, and empowered society.

Good to see recognition for women in medicine. My sister is a surgeon and the dedication is immense. But the government must also address the safety concerns for nurses and female staff working night shifts. Empowerment needs a safe environment.

Words are good, but we need to see the budget allocation. How much is actually being spent on women's health schemes versus what is announced? Regular audits and transparency in these programmes would build more trust.

Having worked in public health in India, this is a crucial area. The sensitivity women bring to healthcare, especially in maternal and child health, is undeniable. Scaling up community health workers (ASHA workers) with better training and pay would be a game-changer.

Absolutely true! Women doctors have often been more patient with my elderly parents. Hope this focus includes mental health services for women as well. The stress on working women and homemakers is rarely addressed in our primary health centres.

Sir Ganga Ram Hospital is indeed an institution. Praising it is fine, but the government should partner with such private hospitals to subsidize care for underprivileged women. Public-private partnerships can make quality care accessible. A good step in the right direction.
