Summary:
Women are the primary caretakers of the world′s society. They are the gateway to family, community and individual health. If societies could truly support women in putting their health first, they could potentially raise the bar for all of society leading to increased productivity and GDP growth as well as increased quality of life. The reality is that today we may be moving in the opposite direction. Global issues such as AIDS, heart disease, and poor nutrition are among a few of the leading issues impacting women′s health and the economy. A panel of experts from LLuminari, a network of experts who have come together to illuminate the health issues of the 21st century and inspire people to live healthier lives, discussed these issues from a multi-disciplinary perspective.
