Product Description

This work has been written to help women care for their own health, and to help community health workers or others to meet women's health needs - problems that affect only women, or that affect women in different ways from men. It combines self-help medical information with an understanding of the ways in which poverty, discrimination and cultural beliefs may limit women's health or access to care. Developed with community-based groups and medical experts from more than 30 countries, this book aims to help anyone understand, treat and prevent many of the health problems that can affect women. Topics featured in the book include: how to solve health problems; ways to stay healthy; understanding the reproductive parts of women's bodies; sexual health; HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases; pregnancy, birth and breast feeding; mental health; health concerns of women with disabilities, girls, older women and refugees; the politics of women's health; rape and other violence against women; and the use of medicines in women's health.

Wonderful Update of the Where there is No Doctor Series 11 July 1999

By S. Martin - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

I thought this book was wonderful because it not only addresses women's health in the reproductive realm but it also addresses the realities of women's health in developing countries: injuries due to overwork, too many children, violence, malnutrition, and also addresses mental illnesses. It also has a great section on FGM, AIDS, Sexual Violence, and Commerical Sex Workers. It integrates gender issues with traditional women's health concerns. I am dying to know when it is coming out in Spanish so I can take it down to Guatemala with me.

Good general info 10 July 2006

By Amy C. Desilva - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

I brought this as a companion to "Where There is no Doctor" for a trip to Guatemala. Althought parts are very helpful, I tended to refer to the other book for concrete help. Excellent info of family planning, breast feeding which is a must for health care workers.

This book is a classic 19 July 2006

By anda1anda2 - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

Having worked for several years in refugee health, this book, along with "Where there is no doctor" were staples of our field health libraries. I was incredibly happy to see the book on the shelves in our clinics on the Thai-Burma border, and feel that it provides really thorough basic information for women's health programs. I think it is a really good teaching aid for rural health workers- my only wish is that there were glossy full page anatomy pictures- but alas. . .
