Session 1: Women’s Health

The experience of women health is differed from those of men due to their biological and behavioral conditions. The unique health related issues include pregnancy, menopause and conditions of the female organs. Women in various countries have narrowed the gender gap in life expectancy and now live longer than men, in many areas of health they experience earlier and more severe disease with poorer outcomes. Women remain an important social determinant of health, since women's health is influenced not just by their biology but also by conditions such as poverty, employment, and family responsibilities.

Some are the risk factors for breast cancer are being female and older age, other potential risk factors include genetics, lack of childbearing or lack of breastfeeding, higher levels of certain hormones, certain dietary patterns, and obesity. Recent studies have indicated that exposure to light pollution is a risk factor for the development of breast cancer.

Ovarian cancer forms in or on an ovary, it results in abnormal cells that could invade or spread to other parts of the body. Risk of developing ovarian cancer is less for women who have fewer menstrual cycles, no menstrual cycles, breast feeding, take oral contraceptives, have multiple pregnancies, and have a pregnancy at an early age.

Various researches showing that exercise may increase life expectancy and the overall quality of life, people who participate in moderate to high levels of physical activity have a lower mortality rate compared to others who by comparison are not physically active. Some moderate levels of exercise have been correlated with preventing aging by reducing inflammatory potential.

Pregnancy may induce maternal physiological changes that affect gastrointestinal function and drug absorption rates. Primary changes may influence the pulmonary absorption of inhaled drugs, as the glomerular filtration rate usually increases during pregnancy, renal drug elimination is generally enhanced, whereas hepatic drug metabolism may increase, decrease or remain unchanged. A mean increase of 8 L in total body water alters drug distribution and results in decreased peak serum concentrations of many drugs.

Session 10: Midwifery

Medical profession that concerns with pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period, besides sexual and reproductive health of women throughout their lives.

Importance & Scope:

Women health has been described as a patchwork quilt with gaps. Although many of the issues around women's health relate to their reproductive health, including maternal and child health, genital health and breast health, and endocrine health, including menstruation, birth control and menopause, a broader understanding of women's health to include all aspects of the health of women has been urged, replacing "Women's Health" with "The Health of Women". A number of health and medical research advocates, such as the Society for Women's Health Research in the United States, support this broader definition, rather than merely issues specific female anatomy to include areas where biological sex differences between women and men exist.

The global market for healthcare analytics reached $6.2 billion in 2016. This market should reach nearly $7.2 billion in 2017 and $14.9 billion by 2022, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.8%.

Gender differences in susceptibility and symptoms of disease and response to treatment in many areas of health are particularly true when viewed from a global perspective. More information comes from developed countries, yet there are marked differences between developed and developing countries in terms of women's roles and health. The global viewpoint is defined as the area for study, research and practice that places a priority on improving health and achieving health equity for all people worldwide.
