El objetivo de la Salud de la Mujer y el Centro de Educación (WHEC) es apoyar y mejorar las oportunidades educativas y de salud general de las mujeres y en particular de las mujeres de los países en desarrollo. La salud de la mujer y la situación es muy compleja y difícil cuestión de los países en desarrollo y países industrializados de ambos. Las mujeres se enfrentan a enormes obstáculos – el prejuicio, el ostracismo, la violencia en el hogar, la pobreza, el hambre y casi no tienen acceso a atención médica y medicamentos que salvan la vida. La Salud de la Mujer y el Centro de Educación se dedica a la salud de la mujer y el bienestar de todo el mundo. Su sitio web, WomensHealthSection.com es con fines educativos, entre EE.UU. y los países en desarrollo: el beneficio mutuo y respeto mutuo. Apoyamos y proyectos / programas en la salud de la mujer, la educación y la investigación. Creemos: En esta ruta de esfuerzo nunca se pierde, y no hay fracaso. Cada año, más de 500, 000 mujeres mueren durante el embarazo o el parto y menos de 10 millones de niños mueren antes de cumplir cinco años-casi el 40% de ellos en el primer mes de vida. Pero la evidencia muestra que al menos 6 millones de estas vidas se pueden ahorrar cada año con el resultado, la relación coste-eficacia de las intervenciones. Nuestra Visión: Un mundo donde todas las mujeres y los niños reciban la atención que necesitan para vivir una vida sana y productiva. Nuestro Objetivo: invertir, ofrecer y promover la madre, el recién nacido y el niño, y, por tanto, el 50% de los 60 países con alta carga de morbilidad «en el buen camino» para lograr objetivos de desarrollo del Milenio 4 y 5 en 5 años. LO QUE HACEMOS Salud de la Mujer y el Centro de Educación (WHEC) aboga por la igualdad de género en la salud y la educación para las mujeres y las niñas de todo el mundo. WHEC trae la atención a las formas en que biológicos y los factores socioculturales que afectan la salud de mujeres y hombres, niños y niñas. WHEC tiene por objeto aumentar los conocimientos y fortalecer la respuesta del sector salud mediante la recopilación de pruebas, el fortalecimiento de la capacidad y la participación en las actividades de promoción sobre la forma de género y la desigualdad de género afectan a la salud. WHEC se centra en las formas en que las cuestiones de género, como una construcción social, afecta la salud de hombres y mujeres. Pero también nos damos cuenta de que la desigualdad de género tiene un peaje más alto en la salud de la mujer debido a la discriminación que sufren en casi todas las culturas. La desigualdad de género agrava los efectos perjudiciales de la pobreza y la falta de educación sobre la salud de la mujer, lo que dificulta la capacidad de millones de mujeres en todo el mundo para acceder a la atención de la salud y conseguir el mejor nivel posible de salud. WomensHealthSection.com educa a los profesionales de la salud acerca de las condiciones que son exclusivos de las mujeres, más frecuente en las mujeres, o son diagnosticados o tratados de manera diferente en las mujeres frente a hombres. Esta publicación presenta imparcial, completa y concisa, y clínicamente relevantes artículos de revisión y práctica secciones. Los artículos son revisados para mantener la más alta calidad y para comprobar la relevancia clínica, médicos de precisión y la claridad de la presentación. La más profunda y estimulante artículos ya están disponibles en un solo portal. Todos los Boletines WHEC práctica se revisan entre 18 y 24 meses después de la publicación y se revisan, se reafirmó, o retirarse. POR QUÉ DE GÉNERO Y LA SALUD Tanto las diferencias de género y las desigualdades de género pueden dar lugar a desigualdades entre hombres y mujeres en el estado de salud y el acceso a la atención de la salud. Por ejemplo: Una mujer no puede recibir los servicios de salud necesarios, porque las normas en su comunidad impedirle viajar solo a una clínica. Un adolescente muere en un accidente a causa de intentar estar a la altura de sus compañeros a las expectativas de que los hombres jóvenes deben ser «valiente» que asumen riesgos. Una mujer casada contratos VIH porque las normas de la sociedad fomentar la promiscuidad de su marido y al mismo tiempo que le impedía insistir en el uso del condón. Un país del índice de mortalidad por cáncer de pulmón de los hombres con mucho la tasa correspondiente a las mujeres porque el tabaquismo es considerado un marcador atractivo de la masculinidad, mientras que es mal vista unfeminine como en las mujeres. En cada uno de estos casos, las normas de género y valores, y comportamientos como resultado, se afecta negativamente la salud. De hecho, la imagen de género en un determinado momento y el lugar puede ser uno de los principales obstáculos – a veces el obstáculo más importante – de pie entre el hombre y la mujer y el logro del bienestar. WHEC ha producido una serie de páginas de información sobre la pertinencia de las cuestiones de género a varios problemas de salud concretos. A través de la lectura es una buena manera de comenzar a tener un sentido de las formas de género y de salud interactúan. WomensHealthSection.com es una compañía global, para la Web plataforma para múltiples formas de colaboración. Esta plataforma permite a los individuos, grupos, empresas, universidades y en cualquier lugar del mundo a colaborar – en el sentido de la innovación, la educación, la investigación y para promover la causa de paz, la salud y el desarrollo.
