Women's health has become a focal point in global health discussions, driven by the recognition of unique health issues women face and their pivotal role in family and community well-being. Reproductive health, encompassing maternal health, family planning, and gender-based violence, has gained prominence, aligning with the World Health Organization's strategy for women's health. Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) like heart disease and diabetes are rising concerns due to demographic and lifestyle shifts. Mental health, especially common issues like depression and anxiety, and gender-based violence's impact, are increasingly acknowledged.
Despite strides in reproductive health access, disparities persist, particularly in low-income and rural areas. Gender inequality remains a critical determinant of women's health, affecting access to care and health outcomes. Addressing these challenges demands a comprehensive approach, including tackling social determinants like poverty and education alongside healthcare access improvements.
