For those of you who didn’t know, I have a heart for Africa and especially African women’s health. I keep my eyes out for African women’s health news and I was encouraged to see that cervical cancer is becoming a news headline in Ghana. Ghana News - Women’s Health: Cervical Cancer. If you’re at all interested in African women’s health, you should drop me a line, I’d love to talk more with you!

I found a fantastic site that shares Medical Briefs on certain days of the week and I was able to pull up some Women’s Health Medical Briefs for you all. Check out the article about Dr. Quinn (Medicine Woman … aka Jane Seymour) speaking at the 22nd annual Integris Women’s Health Forum.

Most women are uncomfortable talking about urinary incontinence, but an interesting report was just released, a prospective cohort study (certain group of people followed for a certain amount of time into the future). The Hordaland Women’s Cohort studied incontinence and “other urinary tract symptoms” for women in middle age.

An interesting situation in Greece on Saturday - Senator Joe Robach was condemned by the National Organization for Women. The Rochester branch is quoted saying “Robach is consistently anti-choice and has stalled on allowing even the most basic measures, such as age appropriate sex education, from passing the Senate.” Read the well-blogged piece here at The Albany Project.

Women’s Health News shared the newest report from the Census Bureau on American Women’s Fertility if that’s something that you’re interested in learning more about.
