Maharashtra has launched the country’s first dedicated menopause clinics within the public healthcare system, marking a significant shift in women-centric health policy.
The clinics recognise menopause as a natural but health-sensitive life stage and provide integrated medical and psychological care, rather than treating symptoms in isolation.
The initiative aims to ensure holistic, dignified, and accessible healthcare for women, addressing physical, hormonal, and mental health challenges associated with menopause.
Overall, the move strengthens gender-responsive healthcare and expands the scope of public health services beyond reproductive years.
