Women's Health

What does women's health involve?

Research, education, policy development, and programming are advancing our understanding of women's health and helping us better meet women's health needs. A strong women's health program provides greater knowledge, greater access to information and services -- and helps ensure that women receive appropriate health care. On a wider level, stronger women's health also promotes greater health for families and communities.
