Of these, 500M women report health problems that have not been addressed.Across the world, and more so in developing countries, the gap between men’s and women’s life expectancy is narrowest where women lack access to health services. In these low-income countries where services are scarcer, 1 in 41 women dies from a maternal cause, compared with 1 in 3300 in high-income countries.

The success of the program is that it is a significant part of the program. The program will be used to help women to improve their health and reduce their costs, especially for those with health conditions that are a result of lifestyle or chronic stress. In addition to these plans, the program should also include: support for women and children with disabilities.
