Women's Health and Education Center Information

The purpose of Women's Health and Education Center (WHEC) is to support and improve the educational opportunities and general health of women and particularly women of the developing countries. Women's health and status is a very complex and challenging issue for the developing and industrialized countries both. Women face enormous obstacles -- prejudice, ostracism, domestic violence, poverty, hunger and virtually no access to medical care and life saving medicines. The Women's Health and Education Center is dedicated to women's health and well being worldwide. Its web site, WomensHealthSection.com is for educational purposes, between USA and developing countries of: Mutual Benefit and Mutual Respect. We support and help projects / programs in women's health, education and research. We believe: On this path effort never goes to waste, and there is no failure. Each year more than 500, 000 women die in pregnancy or childbirth and less than 10 million children die before their fifth birthday- nearly 40% of these in the first month of life. But evidence shows that at least 6 million of these lives can be saved each year with proven, cost-effective interventions. Our Vision: A world where all women and children receive the care they need to live healthy, productive lives. Our Goal: To invest in, deliver and advance maternal, newborn and child health, and thereby put 50% of the 60 high-burden countries "on track" to achieve MDGs 4 and 5 in 5 years.
