National Women’s Health Month occurs annually during the month of May. It serves as a nationwide campaign dedicated to raising awareness about health issues affecting women and encouraging proactive health management. It focuses on promoting the well-being of women and girls of all ages.
The designation of this specific time provides an opportunity to highlight the importance of preventive care, healthy lifestyle choices, and access to quality healthcare services for women. It also acknowledges the unique health challenges women face throughout their lives, from adolescence to menopause and beyond. The initiative helps ensure women are informed and empowered to prioritize their health.
