Feminine Health

Women are affected by a range of conditions – some are related to reproductive issues, like pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding, while others affect females throughout their lives – such as menopause. Fortunately, most health problems that affect women are treatable and preventable if caught early and managed properly.

It also calls for a systematic approach to the sex-disaggregated collection, analyses and dissemination of healthcare data.
