Women
Through the many stages of their lives, women experience health and well-being from a unique perspective, specific to their biology and social circumstances. A full and healthy life for women involves emotional, social, cultural, spiritual and physical well-being.
What Health Canada Does
Health Canada recognizes the diversity of women's health needs over their life span. Our department is committed to helping women maintain and improve their health as well as understanding conditions and diseases that are unique to and more prevalent in women, affect women differently and are becoming more common for women and why they occur.
Health Canada developed the Women's Health Strategy in order to identify and address these issues, and to ensure that women and women's health issues are given full consideration in all of our areas of responsibility.
