The Karnataka government is launching a transformative three-month pilot program called 'Ruthu Taare' in the Dakshina Kannada district. Focused on women aged 35 and above, it will address menopause-related health issues. Specialized clinics will provide screenings for mental health, nutrition, and non-communicable diseases. The initiative's impact will be monitored to assess possible future expansions, with actress Ramya lending her support to champion women's health.
