Where Women Have No Doctor combines self-help medical information with an 
understanding of how poverty, discrimination and culture can limit women's 
health and access to care. Developed with community-based groups and medical 
experts from over 30 countries, Where Women Have No Doctor is essential for 
any woman who wants to improve her health, and for health workers who want 
more information about the problems that affect only women or that affect 
women differently from men.

This 2006 edition features new and updated information on HIV/AIDS, including 
the use of antiretrovirals and preventing mother-to-child transmission, 
treatment of sexually transmitted infections, family planning, TB, care for 
women who have had after abortions, and medicines. Major topics covered 
include: Pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding, health concerns of women with 
disabilities, girls, older women and refugees, sexual health, HIV/AIDS and 
sexually transmitted infections, the use of medicines in women's health, 
mental health, the politics of women's health, and rape and violence against 
women. 

The book is also available in over 20 languages worldwide, extending its 
impact to an even wider global audience. Visit our website to see a full list
