Women's health: science and politics.
The scientific community, in particular the NIH, as well as the political communities of governments and advocates, have formidable goals to achieve in integrating women's health research firmly within the context of biomedical science, securing rights for women to be included in clinical studies and fostering the development and advancement of women in biomedical sciences. No one group or organization can accomplish such a task alone, nor should they. This effort requires the cooperation and collaboration of many individuals and organizations if we are to meet our ultimate goal--health for all our citizens.
