Women Health Care

Women's health differs from men's in numerous ways. Women's health is an example of population health, which the World Health Organization defines as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, rather than the absence of disease or infirmity." Many groups argue for a broader definition pertaining to women's overall health, better expressed as "the health of women," which is often treated as simply women's reproductive health. These disparities are exacerbated in developing countries, where women's health, which includes both risks and experiences, is further disadvantaged.
