Summarized and Translated by Women?s Education for Advancement and Empowerment (WEAVE).... Foreword: "Health is a right; and like all other human rights it applies to everybody, particularly those person living in deplorable conditions. Quality health services must be based on poor people?s particularly poor women?s needs. Historically, women have been at a disadvantaged on account of neglect and discrimination in treatment by the state and societal institutions in most parts of the world. This leads to marginalization of women as attributed by the lack of opportunity and indignities perpetrated by discriminatory legal systems. We are very pleased to offer this new adapted Burmese version of the book entitled Where Women Have No Doctor which combines self-help medical information with an understanding of the way of poverty, discrimination and cultural beliefs that limit women?s health and access to care. The book aims to empower women to improve their health and to support community health workers who continue to improve women?s health. Our special thanks go to the women and men behind the publication of this book whose immeasurable contribution led to the completion work. Moreover, to the Hesperian Foundation, without the generous support of, this book will not come into fruition. Moreover, we dedicate this book to the Burmese women who continue to be marginalized. May this book offer relief and support to you.".....The Hesperian site provides the full text in high resolution and links to individual chapters...
