The theme of this month is - WOMEN'S HEALTH
WOMEN'S HEALTH
Women's health is a critical topic, given that women face specific health challenges throughout their lives. According to the World Health Organization, women's health encompasses a wide range of issues, including reproductive health, maternal health, mental health and non-communicable diseases such as cancer and heart disease.¹
Research has shown that investing in women's health leads to positive outcomes, not only for women but also for their families and communities.² For instance, improving access to reproductive healthcare can reduce maternal mortality rates while addressing non-communicable diseases can improve quality of life and increase productivity.
When it comes to mental health, research has also shown that depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are more prevalent in women than men ³ and these conditions can have a significant impact on women's quality of life.
With this being said, the MED-HIVE community thought it an important subject to discuss and more importantly, a topic to raise awareness about.
Therefore, it's now officially the beginning of the month's theme!
