It\u2019s only a gender health gap if women get worse service to men. Of course, the lack of national men\u2019s health strategy which the Government is currently promising is not a problem. Women have had one for about 2 years and of course there have been women\u2019s hospitals since the 1840s. Women do have different medical issues from men, most notably pregnancy and giving birth, but then men have specific issues too, prostate, penile and testicular. I\u2019m also yet to see a specifically children\u2019s health programme. We could even separate by age, not only youngster\u2019s but also the aged.<br \/><br \/>So how about, instead of a women\u2019s or men\u2019s health programme we have a health programme? Obviously specific sections be it on women\u2019s or men\u2019s issues but a health programme, not a programme for women first and maybe later men but a health programme for men, women and children.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s well known that men die sooner than women. \u201cAs women live longer than men, it\u2019s disheartening to discover that they spend 25 per cent more of their lives in debilitating health compared to their male counterparts.
