Modern women face diverse health challenges influenced by factors like medical conditions, lifestyle, work environment, age, personality, and family support. While housewives often struggle with a lack of structured physical activity and self-care time, working women battle stress, irregular routines, and work-life balance issues.
To address these concerns, we’re bringing together doctors, professors, and inspiring women from the city for an insightful discussion on general and personalized health guidelines. From mental well-being to fitness strategies, this session aims to empower women with practical solutions for a healthier life.
The event was held on Saturday, 8th March 2025, in celebration of International Women's Day at MRC Park Circus from 1:30 PM to 3:00 PM.
Some women are homemakers, managing all household responsibilities from morning till night, while others are working professionals juggling their careers alongside household duties. By the end of the day, exhaustion often leaves them with neither the time nor the energy to care for themselves, leading to various physical and mental health issues.
Recognizing these challenges, TRA General Hospital’s Medical Rehabilitation Centre successfully hosted the discussion session focusing on women’s health issues and fitness. The event saw enthusiastic participation, with attendees openly sharing their experiences and engaging in thought-provoking conversations with healthcare experts.
The session covered a wide range of topics—mental well-being, stress management, structured fitness routines, and practical self-care strategies tailored for both homemakers and working women. Due to excessive stress and work pressure, women are at an increased risk of heart disease, bone problems, and blood pressure problems. Special emphasis was placed on balancing responsibilities without compromising personal health, and how crucial family support is in this journey.
Adding immense value to the session, several honorable guests graced the occasion with their presence and shared their expert opinions:
Among the valuable advice shared during the session, Dr. M. M. Ghatak offered some practical tips for women to incorporate in their daily lives.
“One must be mindful while moving around. If traveling by bus, avoid sitting at the back—prefer seats at the front. Even in a rush, it’s important to stay calm. Working women should handle any workplace challenges with a cool head. Homemakers, on the other hand, should try to avoid working for long hours, lifting heavy objects, or bending forward for extended periods as much as possible.” Stated by Dr. Ghatak
Dr. Subhosri Bandyopadhyay beautifully summed it up by saying, “ Women supporting women is the real action. Even homemakers and also working women just have different workplaces.”

The program concluded with a strong message: no matter the role, women must prioritize their own well-being. It was an afternoon of motivation, learning, and solidarity, truly capturing the essence of International Women’s Day. The event left every participant feeling empowered to take meaningful steps toward a healthier, more balanced life.
