The month of March is also called Women’s March. The month has been internationally devoted to woman, her issues and for her empowerment. The International Women's Day (IWD) would be celebrated on March 8. The month marks the time when women are recognised for their achievements without regard to divisions whether national, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic or political. It has been the occasion for looking back on past struggles and accomplishments, and more importantly, for looking ahead to the untapped potential and opportunities that await future generations of women. The city has always been at the helm when it comes to raising awareness and celebrating the aspect of womanhood. Several events have been lined up, for the entire month. Here’s an ode by Hyderabad to all the women in the city.

Pregnancy related heart diseases require special attention. It's never too late to prevent and control the risk factors for heart disease, especially degenerative aortic valve diseases.
