With Mothers Day fast approaching on Sunday, 11th May 2014, sons and daughters are back to the age old dilemma of presenting their mothers with the best gift of the season. A surprising trend being noticed this year has been the rise in wellness packages and health related gifts. Especially in the metros the youth are now exploring services rather than products which can benefit their mothers in a much more comprehensive way, rather than the good old perfume bottle or Munger silk sari.

Women comprise 48.4% of the total Indian population; they contribute only 19.8 % of the GDP. This socio economical imbalance perhaps reflects on the poor access to quality health care of women.The trend has picked up momentum due to the simple fact that women wellness is now a major focal point in todays family. Earlier the case was set for women; they were the last to eat and the last to go to doctor in case of a problem, but no more.

India has seen a steady rise in expenditure on women wellness both from the governments side and the private side. This has created a lot of awareness around women wellness, which is now visible through this rising trend of providing mothers with better healthcare service packages on Mothers Day.

Mothers day is to honour mothers, who might have sacrificed many things to achieve their motherhood. One of these could be their own health, which is always last in their list of priorities. Let us join hands to do every possible effort for providing them best of the health services. They deserve it……….Dont you also think so?

A working professional Shailja said This year I plan to gift my mother a comprehensive wellness package by Quest Diagnostics. She is going to be 55 this year and I live in another city, therefore I want to make sure that she keeps a complete tab on her health. Additionally I will also be able to track her health records through the EMR (electronic medical record) option.

akansaAnother working professional in the medical field Akansha thinks the first step to avoid cancer from reaching advanced stages is early detection, My maternal grandmother suffered from breast cancer. This means that my mother also has a high risk for the disease. She hates Hospitals & refuses to go for regular mammography screenings. I have learnt of this test called BRACvantage offered by Quest Diagnostics India – that can help to estimate the hereditary risk for Breast cancer. The sample can be collected from the convenience of your home! This mothers day I plan to gift this test to my mother to express how much I care for her
