History of National Women's Check-Up Day

Women's health history differs from men's for a variety of reasons including social, biological, and behavioral factors. Women have traditionally been at a disadvantage in terms of economic and social status, and this has affected their access to health care. Many experts expressed the need to change from "women's health" to the term "women's health", to broaden the focus around the health issues faced by women, which were previously focused on reproductive health.

Women's health is also affected by the fact that women are underrepresented in most large studies. However, countries like the United States and other Western nations are tackling this problem by establishing organizations and experiments like the Women's Health Initiative. The turning point of this moment came in tandem with other international women's movements around the world. With the labor movement of the 20th century in North America and throughout Europe, more and more women began to demand equality and equality, culminating in equal access to health care.

An important moment for women's health has come with the Women's Health Movement, which took place some 40 years ago with the goal of improving health care for all women. Twenty years later, Women's Health Movement has developed to become a powerful political force with significant contributions. Women's health issues have attracted the attention of many feminists, and the general improvement can be attributed to international women's movements.

In 2015, the World Health Organization identified the top ten women's health problems as cancer, reproductive health, maternal health, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), infections sexually transmitted diseases, violence, mental health, non-communicable diseases, youth and aging.
