Objective The aim of this study was to examine the factors that affect the health of women in the slums of Raipur city. Study design This study involved a field-based empirical quantitative analysis. Methods Information about different levels of socioeconomic development and various dimensions of the health conditions of women was collected from the participants of slums in Raipur city, from 300 families across four slums. This study was based on a microlevel survey, and information was collected through a structured interview schedule. Results Social, economic, spatial, and cultural factors together determine the healthcare behavior of women in slum areas. In the surveyed area, 31.33% of women breastfed their children 1 day after delivery, 31% of women respondents purchased medicines from local unrecognized shops, 6.67% of infant mortality cases have been reported, and 32.33% of women used sterilization method to control reproductive health. Conclusion We suspect that there is an untapped demand for clean, habitable, and decent living conditions among the slum dwellers that can positively impact women’s health. Mentally and physically challenged girls are the worst victims of our social system; thus, their condition is miserable in the surroundings they live. Therefore, girls in slums need the urgent attention of their pathfinder.
