"Dear Colleagues
Mammography screening programs (to prevent breast cancer) exist in only nine Member States!
Poverty influences health. Poverty still has a woman face, 120 million women live in poverty. The situation is especially grave with Roma women in Central-Eastern Europe.
Good health is essential for physical and mental well-being. So equal access to health care services should be obligatory in the EU.
There are serious challenges to be highlighted:
Women have specific health characteristics, their health status is also determined by socio-economic factors, like lower living standards, higher unemployment, lower wages.
Many health problems affect women only or differently.
Lately, many people have become aware that women and men are treated differently in those services.
There is few information concerning differences in the effects of medication on women. Even those intended specifically for women, are normally tested on men only.
Women working in health care outnumber men but are underrepresented in health care decision-making.
I have to highlight the violence and abuse to which women have been subjected by men close to them, and through trafficking and prostitution. It causes serious physical and psychological public health problems and effects also children's healthy development."@en1
