The links between health and economic status have long been recognized and researched, but the link between health and gender is just beginning to receive attention. Women's health risks are less likely to be reported and more likely to be overlooked when they are reported. Women may also manifest symptoms differently than men and have distinct health requirements, such as pregnancy. Shantanu Dutta helps Christians understand the unique health requirements of women and people in poverty.
