This paper examines the well-being and health of Gujjar women in Himachal Pradesh based on secondary data; national surveys, state health reports and other scholarly literature. There are various challenges in accessing healthcare to Gujjar women who are predominantly pastoral and tribal in nature. These involve physical remoteness, illiteracy, conservative gender roles, and lack of governmental penetration. This study defines such significant health problems as maternal health, malnutrition, and reproductive health problems. It also identifies the weaknesses in the application of the policies and suggests particular interventions. The research will facilitate gender-sensitive, community-based, and inclusive healthcare solutions.
