Why Women’s Health Matters

Let’s face it. While all our lives are busy, women end up as the default care givers. Very often, women prioritize the health and wellness of others – children, partners or even elders before they prioritize their own needs. However, it’s crucial that she takes care of herself as well.

Every woman you know faces these issues:

  • Unique Needs: Women face health issues specific to them—menstruation, pregnancy and childbirth, and menopause.
  • Higher Risks: Conditions like osteoporosis, heart disease, stroke, and cancers such as breast and cervical require proactive screening and care.
  • Mental Health: Women are disproportionately affected by anxiety and depression, making emotional well-being a critical part of overall health.
