Tóm tắt :

1. Women’s health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being of womenthroughout their lifespan and not only their reproductive health. Women’s health is a result of theinteraction of different factors: biological, psychological and sociocultural influences;environmental and occupational conditions; and economic development. The various stages inthe life of a woman range from infancy, childhood, adolescence and adulthood to the postreproductiveyears. Each stage has specific health problems that influence outcomes insubsequent years.2. Women’s biological vulnerability, low social status, limited access to health services, lowlevel of literacy and lack of decision-making powers are major determinants of ill-health.Difficult geographical and financial access, poor quality of care, attitude of health care workersand long waiting hours in health facilities have limited women’s utilization of services. All thesefactors require detailed studies in order to inform policies and promote effective planning andinterventions.3. The creation of an enabling environment for women at all levels is critical to the attainmentby them of the highest possible level of health as reflected in the Health-for-All Policy for the21st Century in the African Region: Agenda 2020. This consists of health system responsivenessto the needs of women, education of the girl-child, quality health care, elimination of genderdiscrimination and harmful traditional practices, and an appreciation of the role of women insustaining human life.
