Охрана здоровья женщин и состояние является весьма сложной и трудной проблемой для развивающихся и промышленно развитых странах так. Женщины сталкиваются с огромными препятствиями — предубеждение, остракизм, насилие в семье, бедность, голод и практически не имеют доступа к медицинской помощи и спасения жизни медикаменты. Здоровье женщин и центр образования, посвященный здоровью женщин и благосостояния во всем мире. Его веб-сайт, WomensHealthSection.com для образовательных целей, между США и развивающимися странами: взаимной выгоды и взаимного уважения. Мы поддерживаем и помочь проектов / программ в области охраны здоровья женщин, образования и научных исследований. Мы верим: На этом направлении усилия никогда не идет в отходы, а не провал. Каждый год более 500 000 женщин умирают во время беременности или родов, и менее чем 10 миллионов детей умирают, не дожив до своего пятого дня рождения-почти 40% из них в первый месяц жизни. Но практика показывает, что по крайней мере, 6 миллионов из этих жизней можно спасти ежегодно, доказавших, экономически эффективных мероприятий. Наша концепция: мир, где все женщины и дети получали помощь им нужно жить здоровой, плодотворной жизни. Наша цель: инвестировать средства в доставку и заранее матерей, новорожденных и детского здоровья, и тем самым поставить 50% от 60-бремя страны «на пути» к достижению ЦРТ 4 и 5 на 5 лет. Что мы делаем? Здоровье женщин и центр образования (WHEC) выступает за гендерное равенство в сфере здравоохранения и образования для женщин и девочек во всем мире. WHEC приносит внимание, каким образом биологические и социально-культурных факторов, влияющих на здоровье женщин и мужчин, мальчиков и девочек. WHEC направлена на повышение знаний и укрепление здоровья сектора ответ на сбор доказательств, укрепление потенциала и участия в пропагандистской деятельности, как гендерное неравенство и сказаться на здоровье людей. WHEC посвящен пути, что гендерная проблематика, как социальной конструкции, влияет на здоровье мужчин и женщин. Но мы также понимаем, что гендерное неравенство выше сказывается на здоровье женщин в связи с дискриминацией, которой они сталкиваются практически в каждой культуре. Гендерное неравенство усугубляет вредное воздействие бедности и отсутствия образования по вопросам охраны здоровья женщин, что препятствует возможности миллионы женщин во всем мире получить доступ к медико-санитарной помощи и достижения наилучшего возможного уровня здоровья. WomensHealthSection.com обучение медицинских работников по поводу условий, которые являются исключительно женщины, более распространена среди женщин, или диагностируется или относиться по-разному у женщин по сравнению с мужчинами. Данное издание представляет непредвзятой, всеобъемлющей, лаконичными и клинически соответствующие обзорные статьи и практические разделы. Статьи экспертный обзор для поддержания высокого качества и проверки клинического значения, медицинские точность и ясность изложения. Наиболее проницательные и наводящий на размышления статей теперь доступны в одном портале. Все WHEC Практика Сообщения обзор от 18 до 24 месяцев после публикации, и изменениями, подтвердил, или отозвано. Почему пол и состояние здоровья? Оба гендерных различий и неравенства между мужчинами и женщинами могут привести к неравенству между мужчинами и женщинами в состоянии здоровья и доступе к медико-санитарной помощи. Например: Женщина не может получить необходимые медицинские услуги, поскольку нормы в своей общине предотвратить ее от поездки в одиночку клинику. Подростковая мальчик умер в результате несчастного случая, поскольку в попытке оправдать для сверстников ожиданий, что молодые люди должны быть «смелый» риск-воспроизведения. Замужняя женщина контракты с ВИЧ, поскольку социальные стандарты поощряют мужа неразборчивость при одновременном предотвращении ее от настаивать на использовании презервативов. Страны, смертность от рака легких среди мужчин намного превышает соответствующий показатель для женщин, поскольку курение считается привлекательным маркер мужественности, в то время как с неодобрением, как unfeminine у женщин. В каждом из этих случаев, гендерные нормы и ценности, и в результате поведения, отрицательно влияющие здоровья. В самом деле, гендерного изображения в определенное время и место может быть одним из главных препятствий — иногда самое важное препятствие — стоял между мужчинами и женщинами и достижения благосостояния. WHEC выпустил серию информационных страниц об актуальности гендерных на ряд конкретных проблем со здоровьем.
