title: Women's health in the 21st century.
abstract: This century's first year is a good time to reflect on the health status of women. Technology and information have exploded in the past 30 years and show no signs of abating. We are entering a new century with some of the same problems that faced us in 1900. Uncontrollable infectious diseases, unacceptable morbidity and mortality rates for diseases that disproportionately affect women, and a continuing lack of funded research and reimbursement for health promotion leave women in a precarious position. Which issues are critical to address, and which technologies may be used to further improve our delivery of health care?
