HEALTH AWARENESS

Promoting Womens Health

Every healthcare professional, no matter where they work, should have a basic understanding of womens health and the unique health problems that affect women as they age.

Some common acute health problems in women include:

• Bone fractures
• Sexually transmitted diseases
• Pneumonia
• Acute coronary syndrome
• Urinary tract infection
