Australia: First Ever National Men’s Health Policy
Submitted by Matt on Sun, 2008-06-08 20:41
Announcement here. Excerpt:
'8 June 2008
The Rudd Government will develop Australia’s first ever National Men’s Health Policy – in recognition of the fact that men often have poorer health than women, are likely to die earlier, and are at greater risk of suicide.
To mark the start of International Men’s Health Week, Minister for Health Nicola Roxon is launching the paper Setting the scene: developing a men’s health policy for Australia.'

I must be dreaming
Stone me. Official recognition that men have their own health needs, that their lives might actually be worth saving and improving, and the possibility that something might actually be done to bring that about.
Excuse me, I have to go and lie down somewhere to recover from the shock. And please don't spoil the moment by finding the fatal flaw in this report, even though I am sure there will be one. The picture of a grinning female Minister of Health assures me of that.
