“As I traveled across the country for the elections, I discovered that few FOGSIANS feel disconnected, as though FOGSI doesn’t belong to them. However I also observed an incredible wealth of talent and eagerness among many to contribute to FOGSI. And that’s why we are launching the project so as to bridge the gap and foster a sense of belonging”

“Our mission is to meticulously map the prevalence of key health conditions among women across India, focusing on diverse socio-economic and geographical segments. By studying a minimum of 1 lakh to 50 Lakh women in each category, we aim to build a comprehensive database that will not only highlight regional health disparities if any but also position FOGSI as a global leader in understanding and addressing women’s health challenges.”
