The Five Biggest challenges facing OBGYNs in India
- Fear of Treatment and Diagnosis – For Many women, psychological factors such as fear of painful tests and anxiety of diagnosis, play a major role in discouraging them from attending regular treatment.
- Lack of Awareness and education of Women’s health – Many women still lack Awareness when it comes to gynecological and reproductive health, and as a result fail to show up for their routine exams. This will lead to life or death consequences, particularly when it comes to preventative diseases such as cervical cancer.
- Lack of Access to the latest treatment and screening technologies
Many Clinics lack the resources for access to crucial, expensive, medical equipment.
4. Patients avoid exams and treatment for Financial reasons
