The Family which is the smallest social unit is the measure of a healthy society.
Health is an important common factor in all types of families - urban or rural, rich or poor.
Family commitment is a dynamic skill which is devoted to the well being of each member of the family to reach his or her potential. In her welcome address the President of AIWC Mrs. Kunti Paul, emphasised the need for health care for a strong nation. Keeping in mind the present state or women's health status in India, new strategies and policies need to be adopted to empower women and advance equality by providing health care right from infancy to adulthood. She reiterated that there should be an integrated approach toward access to reproductive health care, family planning, role of family and family education. Dr. Manorama Bawa spelled out the topics under discussion in the workshop i.e. the various aspects of physical and mental health which are closely integrated with the well being of the family and through this unit to the community.
