This volume contains the latest interdisciplinary research on womens health issues in Africa. The range of issues covered is vast, including the HIV epidemic and its impacts; domestic violence; challenges related to maternal and neonatal deaths; the persistence of homebirths; health issues related to life stages including adolescence, childrearing and old age; and new research on CVDs and cancer screening. The research articles also include evidence-inspired policy recommendations. The chapters in this book were originally published in the journal Health Care for Women International.
This edited book includes new policy-relevant research on womens health issues in Africa. Scholars explore critical topics from different disciplinary traditions using a variety of research methodologies and data sources. The contributors include African scholars with in-depth knowledge of their home contexts, who can furnish nuanced interpretations of local health issues and trends; international researchers who bring vigorous comparative viewpoints; emerging scholars adding to scientific knowledge; and more established researchers with a deep global knowledge of womens health issues.
The range of womens health issues is vast, including the HIV epidemic and its impacts; domestic violence; the persistence of homebirths; and abortion. In addition, the book investigates emerging health concerns such as CVDs and cancers. Readers will learn that, while old health issues have persisted and assumed new dimensions, newer concerns have materialized and are now gaining momentum. The inability of health systems to tackle these issues complicates matters in Africa, creating a sense of desperation that can only be successfully confronted through strong political will and strategic planning, grounded in further research.
The chapters in this book were originally published in the journal Health Care for Women International.
