Why women's health?
-
HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis and other diseases continue to devastate countries in many parts of Africa and worldwide.
-
In many parts of Africa, women’s and girls’ health needs are woefully underserved, especially when it comes to prevention and care of HIV and AIDS: Nearly 60 percent of women in sub-Saharan Africa are living with HIV.
-
Current efforts to increase women’s and girls’ access to health services are falling short of these immediate needs.
-
Underlying economic, political, social and cultural constraints continue to impede women’s and girls’ access to health services.
