Support for Women's Health Promotion

Women's Life Stage and Health

Women have the characteristic that the amount of female hormones changes dramatically at each life stage, and diseases that are likely to occur vary by age, so there is a need for health promotion support based on each health issue.

The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare has designated the Women's Health Week from March 1 to March 8 every year as a national movement to promote women's health. We are working to promote women's health, which helps women turn to their own health and help them practice their own health.
