Hyderabad: Yellow Ribbon Run on March 2 to raise awareness on Endometriosis

Endometriosis is as prevalent as diabetes and asthma among women, yet it remains one of the most misunderstood, misdiagnosed, underfunded, and under-researched health conditions. It significantly impacts women's lives mentally, personally, and professionally, said Dr. Vimee Bindra, founder of the Endometriosis Foundation of India, on Monday.

Hyderabad: City-based Endometriosis Foundation of India is conducting the second edition of Yellow Ribbon Run at Jalavihar Necklace Road on Sunday, March 2. The Foundation members on Monday said that the run is aimed at educating women about Endometriosis.
