Recently, a workshop was held at Nakshatra Hotel in Rayapetta, Chennai on behalf of the Department of Public Welfare to reduce the rate of maternal mortality with speeches by experts. Health Minister M. Subramanian, who participated in it, said, “20 years ago, healthy childbirth occurred because women worked more. Now the workload of women has decreased due to change of times. As a result, cesarean delivery has increased.
Tamil Nadu has the best obstetricians in India. Efforts are being made to achieve zero maternal mortality rate in Tamil Nadu. The number of healthy births should increase across Tamil Nadu,” he said.
Regarding this, BJP National Women’s Congress President Vanathi Srinivasan said on her Twitter page, “Health Minister M. Subramanian has expressed a reactionary opinion. “This cheap opinion of Mr. Subramanian, who has spoken as if all the work of women traveling alone in the outside world, crossing many barriers, is not worth it,” he said.
Vanathi Srinivasan criticized that she has left out the most important causes like lack of basic facilities in Tamil Nadu government hospitals, malnutrition of pregnant women, complications during pregnancy, physical health of the baby in the womb, and your Dravidian model thinking that lack of housework is the cause of caesarean deliveries is surprising.
Vanathi Srinivasan criticized the thought process of DMK leaders whose policy is to insult women, talk down to them and make fun of them. It would be good if you explain,” he questioned M. Subramanian.
