Health Care & Women’s Health in the complex 21st Century Environment

E
very age has its evils, ethos and values; every age has its
limitations and abolitionists in relative terms. In a war
situation,my thoughts arealways howthewomencopewith the
perilous situation; how their welfare and health management
will survive the ordeal; when girls are kidnapped, I think not
only on their marginalization but how they will sustain such
unique health issues associated with womanhood under their
captors such as menstruation, child birth care, osteoporosis,
etc, with its health care complexities.Women therefore need
health care more and access to the health care system more
than do men. This is partly due to their reproductive and sexual
health needs; they also have more chronic non-reproductive
health issues such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, mental
illness, diabetes and osteoporosis. Women’s health includes a
wide range of specialties and focus areas, such as: Birth control,
sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and gynecology. Breast
cancer, ovarian cancer andother female cancers arenot theonly
diseases common to women.. Mammography, menopause and
hormone therapy, osteoporosis, pregnancy and childbirth issues
are some of the others. It is obvious that women and men are
not the same, particularly when it comes to their health risks.
Mary Mitchel Slessor ( 2 December 1848-13 January 1915) was
a Scottish missionary to Nigeria and she left her footprints in
the sands of time in Nigeria. She advanced the cause of women;
she was a nurse and was humble enough to learn the local
dialects in order to fit to the environmental demands of the
people of the Calabar region of Nigeria where she lived with.
She spread Christianity while promoting women’s rights and
protected native children. She is most famous for abolishing
the primitive practice of infanticide of twins among the Ibibio
people, an ethnic group in southeastern Nigeria. Over 100 years
ago, in a harsh and uncharitable environment, this woman
contributed to the emancipation of women’s right and she used
her wealth of experience, personal sacrifices, resources and
religion to contributed to health care and women’s health. She
demonstrated that holistic understanding of the environmental
factors, interacting and mutual respect for the local would aid
the health care and women’s health and she succeeded in this.
This work will examine how her works contributed significantly
to the health care andwomen’s health in South-Eastern Nigeria;
the number of children she saved, how her education impacted
on the local citizenry and how ironically she died of malaria in
1915. In the final analysis, we will look, demonstrate and view
a gamut of issues that affect health care and women’s health in
this challenging and dynamic millennium.
