Survey rates women's health low for state
- Findings of the fourth national family health survey (NHFS), released by Union ministry of health and family welfare late last week, revealed that more than 34 out of every 100 married women (aged between 15 and 49 years) face assault at the hands of their husbands. The study, conducted for the period of 2015-16, also shows 45 out of every 100 women have their own bank accounts. Only 35 out of every 100 women have mobile phones for their personal use, despite the fact that over 86% are actively involved in decision making of their respective households.
