Men and women do have a lot in common, but there are also marked differences between them. Women, for example, face their own unique health challenges, such as risks for pregnancy issues, menopause complications, and breast and gynecological disorders.

As a woman, sexual and reproductive health (SRH) care plays a prominent role in your overall well-being.
