Case Study on Women's Health

Women's health refers to health issues specific to human female anatomy. These often relate to structures such as female genitalia and breasts or to conditions caused by hormones specific to, or most notable in, females. Women's health issues include menstruation, contraception, maternal health,child birth, menopause and breast cancer.                     At present, the only way to decrease the mortality and morbidity from breast cancer is to detect it before the patient presents with symptoms. Towards this direction the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology in partnership with the Ministry of Health launched a national breast screening program under the patronage of her Excellency Mrs. Suzan Mubarak – the First Lady of Egypt. This initiative is a Government Funded service that offers free breast screening to Egyptian women above the age of 45 years old.                                       For more information on this topic click here     http://groups.itu.int/stocktaking/Database/CaseStudies/EgyptWomenshealthunitproject.aspx             http://www.pharmacytimes.com/publications/issue/2010/June2010/OTCCaseStudies-0610         http://fhi.org/en/rh/pubs/wsp/casestudies/boliviacs.htm           http://www.cicred.org/Eng/Seminars/Details/Seminars/santefemmes/ACTES/Com_Sundby.PDF                                                     http://www.medscape.org/viewarticle/579591
