COVID-19 pandemic and women mental health

Abstract

Since last eighteen months, the world is trying to escape from the tight paws of Corona-19 virus. This tiny virus has changed the total perspective of the life of the human being. Covid-19 pandemic has motivated the world to rethink about the human life and it’s personal, familial, social, economical as well as political dimensions. It has also made the people on this earth to audit the concept of ‘HEALTH’ and the various health systems created by them. We need to relearn the definition of ‘HEALTH’ proposed by WHO long back in 1948. What is this definition? Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Health is also a fundamental human right of every human being without distinction of race, religion, political belief, economical and social condition. There is no change in this definition ever since WHO proposed this on 7th April 1948!
