Snippet:
DESPITE being India's financial capital, Mumbai continues to face significant health care inequalities. Millions of people living in urban slums struggle to access affordable health care, while overcrowding, malnutrition, and limited health awareness contribute to a growing burden of preventable diseases. Women, children, adolescent girls, and daily wage earners remain among the most vulnerable populations.
