The National Family Health Survey 2015-16, conducted by the health ministry, found that the use of condoms had gone up in 10 years from 2% to 12% among sexually active unmarried women aged 15 to 49 years. The maximum use of condoms among unmarried women was seen in the 20-24 years age group.

A study published last week states India and Brics colleagues Brazil, Russia, China and South Africa lose tens of billions of dollars in lost productivity due to cancer deaths. India recorded a total productivity loss of $6.7 billion in 2012 due to cancer, representing 0.36% of the GDP that year, the study found. This was second only to South Africa’s, which recorded a loss of $1.9 billion, amounting to almost 0.5% of its GDP. |

The notified rules inserted 11-point measures in the existing Act, empowering the ministry to issue notices against local authorities and state agencies for non-implementation of those actions. |
