Progress in different aspects of society including women’s rights and gender equality has been rampant but has not guaranteed uniform advancements in women’s health and wellness. There are many factors that pose a challenge including healthcare disparities, work-life balance, cultural factors, societal norms, etc. Women’s health remains a complex issue as access to healthcare services depends on economic factors, education, background, and lack of insurance which ultimately affects the well-being of women. That said, it cannot be overseen that progress is being made in many regions and there are organizations dedicated to working on empowering women’s health and wellness with their products and services.

Health problems such as breast and cervix cancer are common diseases in India. In India, a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer every four minutes, and with over 1,78,000 new cases being diagnosed each year, breast cancer has surpassed cervical cancer to become a common disease in women. Breast Cancer and Cervical Cancer have been on the rise in the country and can be attributed to factors such as increased life expectancy, lack of awareness, limited access to screening and vaccination, etc. Efforts are being made to increase awareness, improve screening, and promote HPV vaccination. FemTech also helps tremendously in early detection and improving outcomes for breast and cervical cancer.
