The importance of women's health

Women's health differs from men's health in many unique ways and is referred to as women's health. Women's health is an example of population health, where health is defined by the World Health Organization as "a state of complete physical, internal and social well-being and not merely the absence of complaint or infirmity".

Often considered simply women's reproductive health, numerous groups argue for a broader description regarding women's overall health. These differences are further exacerbated in developing countries, where women are further disadvantaged.

Although women in industrialized countries have narrowed the gender gap in life expectancy and now live longer than men, in many areas of health they are witnessing more and more severe complaints of poorer problems. Gender remains an important social determinant of health, as women's health is determined not only by their biology, but also by conditions such as poverty, employment and family commitments.

 Women are chronically disadvantaged in many welfare-like social and profit-making power that limits their access to life responsibilities including health care, and the smaller the disadvantage, similar to developing countries, the smaller the adverse health impact.

 Why is women's health so important?

 Women are the foundation of the overall health of the family, unless their access to quality care can also lead to improvements in the health of children and families.

 The health of families and communities is undoubtedly linked to the health of women. The illness or death of a woman has serious and far-reaching consequences for the health of her children, family and society. At this time, women's health is taking an advanced position in society because people have realized that although women have many of the same conditions as men, their symptoms and treatments may not always be the same.

 One notorious slogan, "Healthy Women, Healthy World," embodies the fact that women, as guardians of family health, play a vital role in maintaining the health and overall well-being of their communities. Yet, because of the many places where women play, too often they focus on taking care of the health of their partner or children, neglecting their own requirements. For this reason, it is important for women to take the time to maintain good health for themselves as well. In fact, a number of ailments that affect women can actually be averted by making proper care of women a priority.

 At every stage of a woman's life, there is an important method of preventive health care that must be followed in order to detect health problems early. Many women may neglect health checkups for many reasons, but ultimately it comes down to whether you wish to make yourself a priority. After women have put such important energy into caring for the lives of others, it is time that they deserve the same care for themselves.

Social and cultural factors that affect women's health

 Women's health is embedded in a wider body of knowledge cited by the World Health Organization, among others, which emphasizes gender as a social determinant of health. While women's health is influenced by their biology, it is also influenced by their social conditions, such as poverty, employment and family commitments, and these aspects should not be overshadowed.

 Women have traditionally been disadvantaged in terms of profitability and social status and power, which in turn limits their access to life responsibilities including health care. Despite recent progress in Western countries, women remain disadvantaged compared to men. Indeed, the gender gap in health is more acute in developing countries where women are relatively more disadvantaged. In addition to the inequality between men and women, there remain specific complaints processes uniquely linked to being a woman, which presents specific challenges in both prevention and health care.

 In fact, after succeeding in breaking into health care, women were recognized against a process that Iris Young called "internal rejection," as opposed to "external rejection," a wall to break through. This invisibility effectively masks the resentment of groups previously disadvantaged by power inequality and further entrenches injustice.

How do we improve women's health?

To improve women's health, we must address issues related to reproductive health, maternal mortality, malnutrition and no communicable diseases; through quality and affordable health services within the universal health content.

A holistic, comprehensive and life-long approach beyond reproductive health is required to achieve better health for women starting in pregnancy and sustained throughout recovery, agelessness, agelessness and ageing. Women must be empowered to take care of their health.

Violence against women and girls is one of the highest priority areas for further and continued action in the Southeast Asian region.
