Women's Health
Women’s healthcare in Ireland and around the world is changing rapidly. In recent years there have been welcome changes in Irish society, with roles and tasks between men and women shared more equally. However the fact remains that women are still the primary givers and their social support is crucial to the well-being of the population as a whole. Therefore all women should have access to the most trusted and reliable health information. Below you will find links to websites with information and advice on the most common health issues affecting women in Dublin today including breast cancer, eating disorders, skin care and much more.
