Description
Book SynopsisOver the years, the Association of Women Doctors Singapore (AWDS) has observed and keenly understands the myriad of responsibilities of a modern woman. Daughter, mother, wife, caregiver, career woman, volunteer, advocate; it is common for many women to be juggling multiple roles at any given time. While being the key in maintaining healthy families, they often overlook their own physical, mental and even emotional health.We produce this book 'All about Eve: Your Women's Health Questions Answered' so women can find comprehensive information about health issues they may have to navigate in every stage of life.We hope that this book will reach out to women of all backgrounds, and empower them to become healthier and better versions of themselves. Because only when women understand how and why they should put their needs first, can our community continue to benefit from all that they selflessly give.
