Maharashtra has taken a pioneering step in women’s healthcare by launching India’s first government menopause clinics. These clinics are set up in hospitals and urban health centres to provide comprehensive support for women experiencing menopause, a stage often overlooked in public health systems. The facilities offer medical consultations, screenings for bone health, heart conditions and hormonal changes, along with medicines and psychological counseling under one roof. By addressing issues such as sleep disturbances, bone loss and mental stress, the initiative aims to improve the quality of life and promote holistic health care for middle-aged women.
