The European Institute of Women’s Health urges the European Union, together with Member States, to:
- Set time-based, achievable targets for reducing the incidence and severity of coronary heart disease, cancer, osteoporosis and depression in each Member State.
- Develop health policies at the European and Member State levels to address the underlying causes.
- Promote health policies throughout Europe that enable older women to maintain quality of life and remain independent.
- Design more effective education and health promotion programmes that motivate and enable women to live a healthier lifestyle.
- Support cooperative, trans-national research on the diseases of women.
- Educate health care professionals to give women the same level of care and attention that they give to men.
Working together, the European Union and Member States, governments and non-governmental groups, and men and women throughout the European Union can help ensure that European women will have a greater opportunity to live their later years in good health, with greater independence and with greater freedom from disease and disability.
