WHO norms say doctor patient ratio should be in the range of 1: 1000. The current state of endometriosis care in India is insufficient to address the magnitude of the issue. The objective of the Yellow Ribbon Run is to create public awareness and urge policy makers to invest in research and development, and ensure partnerships with stakeholders to address Endometriosis.
