&lt;em&gt;Experts say the reluctance of Indian men to undergo sterilisation stems from history, social taboo and sheer logistical limitations. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;A National Health Mission report released Monday has flagged the &amp;ldquo;uneven burden&amp;rdquo; women bear in family planning with latest data showing women account for more than 93 per cent of sterilisations in the country. The report also found that male sterilisation services still remain inadequately available.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 11th report of the Common Review Mission of the National Health Mission, released Monday has flagged the issue citing latest data from the Health Management Information System (HMIS) where states upload data on various parameters of NHM including sterilisations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Women continue to bear an uneven burden of the terminal methods of family planning and sterilisation. As per HMIS in 2017-18 (till October) of the total 14,73,418 sterilisation procedures only 6.8 % were male sterilisation while 93.1 % were female sterilisation,&amp;rdquo; stated the report.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is, however, a marginal improvement from earlier years when women accounted for 98 per cent of all sterilisation in the country. Of the 41,41,502 sterilisations across India in 2015-16 under government programmes, 40,61,462 were tubectomies. In 2014-15, out of 40,30,409 sterilisations, 39,52,043 were tubectomies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Experts say the reluctance of Indian men to undergo sterilisation stems from history, social taboo and sheer logistical limitations. Forced sterilisations during the Emergency have given the procedure a bad name, misinformation about it robbing men of their &amp;ldquo;strength&amp;rdquo; has made it a social taboo and the fact that there are no male health workers means these impressions cannot be corrected. It is difficult for an ASHA worker in a village to talk to men about sterilisation.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;Experts say the reluctance of Indian men to undergo sterilisation stems from history, social taboo and sheer logistical limitations. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;A National Health Mission report released Monday has flagged the &amp;ldquo;uneven burden&amp;rdquo; women bear in family planning with latest data showing women account for more than 93 per cent of sterilisations in the country. The report also found that male sterilisation services still remain inadequately available.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 11th report of the Common Review Mission of the National Health Mission, released Monday has flagged the issue citing latest data from the Health Management Information System (HMIS) where states upload data on various parameters of NHM including sterilisations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Women continue to bear an uneven burden of the terminal methods of family planning and sterilisation. As per HMIS in 2017-18 (till October) of the total 14,73,418 sterilisation procedures only 6.8 % were male sterilisation while 93.1 % were female sterilisation,&amp;rdquo; stated the report.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is, however, a marginal improvement from earlier years when women accounted for 98 per cent of all sterilisation in the country. Of the 41,41,502 sterilisations across India in 2015-16 under government programmes, 40,61,462 were tubectomies. In 2014-15, out of 40,30,409 sterilisations, 39,52,043 were tubectomies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Experts say the reluctance of Indian men to undergo sterilisation stems from history, social taboo and sheer logistical limitations. Forced sterilisations during the Emergency have given the procedure a bad name, misinformation about it robbing men of their &amp;ldquo;strength&amp;rdquo; has made it a social taboo and the fact that there are no male health workers means these impressions cannot be corrected.

<em>Experts say the reluctance of Indian men to undergo sterilisation stems from history, social taboo and sheer logistical limitations. <br />
<br />
New Delhi: </em>A National Health Mission report released Monday has flagged the &ldquo;uneven burden&rdquo; women bear in family planning with latest data showing women account for more than 93 per cent of sterilisations in the country. The report also found that male sterilisation services still remain inadequately available.<br />
<br />
The 11th report of the Common Review Mission of the National Health Mission, released Monday has flagged the issue citing latest data from the Health Management Information System (HMIS) where states upload data on various parameters of NHM including sterilisations.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Women continue to bear an uneven burden of the terminal methods of family planning and sterilisation. As per HMIS in 2017-18 (till October) of the total 14,73,418 sterilisation procedures only 6.8 % were male sterilisation while 93.1 % were female sterilisation,&rdquo; stated the report.<br />
<br />
This is, however, a marginal improvement from earlier years when women accounted for 98 per cent of all sterilisation in the country. Of the 41,41,502 sterilisations across India in 2015-16 under government programmes, 40,61,462 were tubectomies. In 2014-15, out of 40,30,409 sterilisations, 39,52,043 were tubectomies.<br />

At 93 per cent, women bear burden of sterilisation, says NHM report -Abantika Ghosh

-The Indian Express Experts say the reluctance of Indian men to undergo sterilisation stems from history, social taboo and sheer logistical limitations. New Delhi: A National Health Mission report released Monday has flagged the “uneven burden” women bear in family planning with latest data showing women account for more than 93 per cent of sterilisations in the country. The report also found that male sterilisation services still remain inadequately available. The 11th report of the Common Review Mission of the National Health Mission, released Monday has flagged the issue citing latest data from the Health Management Information System (HMIS) where states upload data on various parameters of NHM including sterilisations. “Women continue to bear an uneven burden of the terminal methods of family planning and sterilisation. As per HMIS in 2017-18 (till October) of the total 14,73,418 sterilisation procedures only 6.8 % were male sterilisation while 93.1 % were female sterilisation,” stated the report. This is, however, a marginal improvement from earlier years when women accounted for 98 per cent of all sterilisation in the country. Of the 41,41,502 sterilisations across India in 2015-16 under government programmes, 40,61,462 were tubectomies. In 2014-15, out of 40,30,409 sterilisations, 39,52,043 were tubectomies. Experts say the reluctance of Indian men to undergo sterilisation stems from history, social taboo and sheer logistical limitations. Forced sterilisations during the Emergency have given the procedure a bad name, misinformation about it robbing men of their “strength” has made it a social taboo and the fact that there are no male health workers means these impressions cannot be corrected. It is difficult for an ASHA worker in a village to talk to men about sterilisation. Please click here to read more.
