The purpose of Men's Health Week is to heighten the awareness of preventable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment of disease among men and boys. This week gives health care providers, public policy makers, the media, and individuals an opportunity to encourage men and boys to seek regular medical advice and early treatment for disease and injury.
A new book is being launched to help health professionals provide the best possible service for men. ‘Men's Health, How to do it', by Radcliffe Publishers, will be unveiled by Alan White, who is professor of Men's Health at Leeds Metropolitan University and chair of the Men’s Health Forum. Amongst the guests at the event will be Erick Savoye, director of the European's Men's Health Forum.
Men's Health Network (MHN) is a non-profit educational organization comprised of physicians, researchers, public health workers, individuals and other health professionals. MHN is committed to improving the health and wellness of men through education campaigns, partnerships with retailers and other private entities, workplace health programs, data collection, and work with health care providers to provide better programs and funding for men's health needs.
