 Sounding health alarm for 'beached whales'

Despite continuing protestations from vocal female lobby groups, women have actually faired well over the past couple of decades when it comes to the status of their health, thanks to the introduction of a national health policy in the late ’80s that became the platform for better care for women. Conversely, men are not fairing so well. While research funding and campaigns to raise awareness to treat breast, cervical, ovarian and uterine cancer continue seemingly unabated, empowering women against these lethal diseases, funding for male specific diseases is paltry by comparison.
