Public health expenditure: A case study of Madhya Pradesh

Health plays an important role in the social scenario. Hence, it plays an important role in the social and economic development. The expenditure on the social sector is quite less than the expenditure on economic sector and due to this, the health sector which is an important component of the social sector has been affected. In order to develop the health sector, there is a need for restructuring this sector. The fund flows in the health sector very less from the central government and the state governments whereas maximum fund flows come from private sectors due to which the private health services are not that affordable. The health expenditure as a percentage of GDP is quite less which needs to be enhanced. The condition of the health sector in the state of Madhya Pradesh is also not up to the mark due to the lack of allocation of adequate funds.

Design of low-cost high absorbency sanitary pads using core sheath yarns

During menstruation pain, anxiety, menstrual hygiene, timely changing of sanitary pads and a lot of other problems have to be dealt with besides the grueling everyday routines. We are looking into the details of pad related problem which have been gathered by a huge survey of girls within the age group 17-23. In particular, the low absorbency of the pad, itchiness, and rashes caused, and discomfort caused via current pads in an affordable range are some of the issues we have tried to focus upon for our design of the sanitary pad. State of the art core-sheath yarn technique using super-absorbing microfibers and biodegradable bamboo fibers are the major components of our re-designed pads – both of which are a major upgrade from the existing solutions while still being affordable.
