“Women’s health is more than medicine.”
Women's health differs from men's health in many aspects, and is referred to as Women's health.
Hence, this is why women’s health is important. Women are the foundation of a family's general health, so ensuring they have access to high-quality care can benefit children and families as well.
Women's health is inextricably linked to the health of families and communities. A woman's illness or death has substantial and far-reaching effects for her children, family, and community's health. Women's health is gaining a bigger profile in society as people recognise that, while women and men suffer from many of the same ailments, their symptoms and treatments are not necessarily the same. "Healthy Women, Healthy World," as one well-known slogan goes, encapsulates the reality that women, as caretakers of family health, play a key role in preserving the health and overall well-being of their communities. Due to the multiple duties women play, they are frequently preoccupied with the health of their spouse or children, neglecting their own needs. As a result, it is critical that women take the time to look after their own health. In fact, with adequate women's care as a priority, a number of ailments that affect women can be avoided.
However, it is much more saddening when the minority of women do not only have a stable health but also no access to health services for regular health screenings. This is because they feel that they are treated with disrespect when receiving health care, they experience difficulties to access care such as lack of insurance or not having a regular doctor to visit, and to feel they would receive better care if they were of a different race or ethnicity.
The minorities are at risk of higher health problems without a proper health service:
- Ovarian and Cervical Cancer
- Poor Gynecological Health
- Pregnancy Issues
- Auto-immune Diseases
Therefore, to overcome these health issues, minorities should have the same rights as the entire population towards a proper health service. Besides that, to improve women's health, we must address issues such as reproductive health, maternal mortality, malnutrition, and noncommunicable illnesses, all of which may be addressed through high-quality, low-cost health care provided under universal health coverage. A holistic, comprehensive, and life-course approach beyond reproductive health is required, beginning with pregnancy and continuing through the newborn, childhood, adolescence, and aging periods. Women must be given the services they need to take care of their own health. For example, free pregnancy tests and cervical examinations.
To wrap it up, in our communities, women play a critical role. A healthy family, a healthy society, and a healthy nation are all dependent on healthy women. Let's "Make it Happen: Improve Women's Health" together.
