Women’s Health Week: Celebrating Progress and Empowering Change
Key Events and Milestones:
- 2022: Women’s Health Week kicked off with a panel discussion at the Youth Cultural Center in Skopje, focusing on the importance of women’s health and the need for institutional protection. The event featured experts like Prof. Dr. Goran Dimitrov, Prof. Dr. Ana Daneva Markova, Prof. Dr. Gligor Tofoski and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Daniela Ivanova Panova, and addressed pressing issues such as the prevention of gynecological cancers, reproductive health, and the importance of education. The goal was to break down stigmas and promote healthier habits among women.
- 2023: The highlight was the Gynecological Congress, where over 500 gynecologists from around the world gathered to discuss the latest advancements in the field of gynecology. This congress provided a space for global collaboration and knowledge exchange.
- 2024: A three-day symposium, Women’s Health in Focus, brought together specialists and trainees in gynecology and obstetrics to explore crucial topics like the HPV vaccine, vaccination during pregnancy, and the role of obesity in pregnancy. This symposium underscored the importance of early detection, education, and the role of primary gynecologists in ensuring regular check-ups.
Why It Matters: Each year, MAGO’s campaign emphasizes breaking down barriers for women in accessing essential reproductive health services. Surveys reveal that many women are unaware of vital health risks, such as cervical cancer, and fail to attend regular gynecological exams. Women’s Health Week continues to address these gaps by encouraging greater participation in health services, empowering women with knowledge, and advocating for better access to care.
Looking Ahead: MAGO remains dedicated to improving the health and well-being of women through continuous education, outreach, and advocacy. This week serves as a reminder of the importance of routine care, early detection, and the need to reduce health disparities for women nationwide.
