Yellow Ribbon Run 2025 the second edition after the successful first edition last year, first of its kind Endometriosis awareness run in the country by Endometriosis Foundation of India, will see a participation of over 2000 people from all walks of life. Endometriosis Foundation of India was started with the aim of creating awareness and providing helping hands while networking with various stakeholders especially with the state and central governments, medical institutes to bring in accessible and affordable medical solutions to the patients suffering from Endometriosis.
Sharing the details 'Dr. Vimee Bindra Founder Endometriosis Foundation of India' said “On an average 1 in 10 people suffer from Endometriosis and a total of over 4.2 crores of women in India are affected. WHO norms say doctor patient ratio should be in the range of 1: 1000. The current state of endometriosis care in India is insufficient to address the magnitude of the issue. The objective of the Yellow Ribbon Run is to create public awareness and urge policy makers to invest in research and development, and ensure partnerships with stakeholders to address Endometriosis. We are glad and elated on the response we got from all stakeholders for our first edition of the run in India in Hyderabad last year which prompted us to make it an annual event ”
Addressing the gathering 'Mr. R.V. Karnan IAS , Commissioner of Health and Family Welfare, Telangana Government' said “Telangana government under the leadership of Shri A Revanth Reddy Honoroble Chief Minister is committed to women’s healthcare. The Government strongly believe that women’s health is the foundation to the prosperity of family and the community. Initiatives like these will build a healthier and empowered future for Telangana women”
'Dr . Sai Kamakshi Bhaskarla Indian Actress and social activist' said “I am extremely privileged to be part of this healthy initiative to empower our girls and women on endometriosis knowledge. As someone who’s passionate about women issues, I had series of discussion with the foundation to highlight the issues and bridge the gaps while working and networking with stakeholders and policy makers. I want to extend my support in every form for the foundation to achieve its objectives”
