Yes I know.
But I feel that this is an opportunity to contribute more about her in
the article.
Her work is one of the great works where policies of WHO and other
organizations have changed. The word 'mother and child health' appeared
because of her in the medical literature which was only 'reproductive
health' previously! She in a way shown as how the fields like medicine are
also men dominated and how and when medicine thinks about women - only in
terms of reproductive health! She is a feminist and says it with lot of
pride. Her paper about reproductive tract infections is also a landmark
paper and it has given a new dimension to the subject. In her paper on
white discharge she mentions that nearly 90% women face these issues which
was unknown to medicine till publication of her paper!
She has received awards by the hands of president of India.
Thanks.

That's a good call out!
Please feel free to add her name.
There is a Wikipedia page -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abhay_and_Rani_Bang that talks about her
work. But we could have a page exclusively for her.
Thanks!
