Abstract
Internationally it has been realised that women's health should be addressed as a separate entity, and it was encouraging to see that in the 9th Family Practitioner's Congress it was scheduled under "Health Priorities in the New South Africa". All over the world, but more often so in developing countries, women are expected to shoulder the responsibility for their families, the sick, the disabled and the old, as well as earn a daily wage, and the value of their work is not recognised. They have little say in family or political decisions. Men assume the right to speak for them, and all these factors influence the health of women of society.
