Women hold the key
November 16, 2010
WOMEN play a vital role in the
health of men in the community,
according to Professor Ian Banks,
President of the European Men’s
Health Forum.
In Australia for the Australian Self
Medication Industry’s national
conference, Banks said that “For
better or worse, most of the
responsibility for men’s health falls
on women in the family”.
Backing up his statement, Banks
said many men avoid going to the
doctor because they fear the
diagnosis.
“This explains why for a range of
conditions including melanoma,
where men have a lower incidence
than women, they actually suffer a
higher mortality rate because they
delay diagnosis and treatment,” he
said.
Banks is set to address the ASMI
conference (held at the Australian
Technology Park Sydney) on Thu -
