Women’s health has never been an issue, not even with feminists in India, but we must make it an issue now
Ultrasound, invented to make childbirth safer, has already led to the genocide of female foeticide. The same ultrasound and foetal monitors are now used to raise alarm and justify planned Caesareans, though there is no proof that these make childbirth safer.
On a dreary December morning, I sat leafing through hundreds of pages of reports, ultrasounds, surgical notes and prescriptions but found no mention of a diagnosis. When the woman patient complained once too often about her doctor, I asked her why she continued to go to her when her condition was not improving? “Because she is very sweet to talk to,” she replied.
