Office of Research on Women's Health. National Institutes of Health and the women's health agenda.
The historical precedent underway in women's health research in the 1990s provides the basis for more equitable health promotion and disease prevention and treatment of women in the second millennium. The success of this enterprise rests on the collaboration and cooperation of all concerned--the scientific community, health care providers, and the women themselves. The goal is improved health and prevented disease for all women. Thucydides avowed that "history is philosophy learned from examples." We can do no less.
