The National Council of Women's Health Issues is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the health and well-being of women and girls in the United States. The Council works to ensure that all women have access to quality healthcare, education, and resources to help them lead healthy and productive lives
Women's health is an example of population health, where health is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity". Often treated as simply women's reproductive health, many groups argue for a broader definition pertaining to the overall health of women, better expressed as "The health of women". These differences are further exacerbated in developing countries where women, whose health includes both their risks and experiences, are further disadvantaged.
