FEEED - Health

Obviously, health and nutrition play an important role in combating deadly diseases, and in the recent past the Covid virus. In the same way gender perspective to health would help detect poor attention given to women. Women are more prone to any killing diseases owing to their poor consumption/quality of food, hours of work which push them fall prey to killing diseases like HIV / AIDS, COVID and pregnancy and child birth related morbidity.
