“Every woman has a right to complete healthcare throughout her life.”

— Where Women Have No Doctor

All over the world, women rise to their daily work, care for their families, and participate in community life. Too often, people must face these challenges while balancing these responsibilities – lacking even basic information about their health.

Where Women Have No Doctor is an essential resource for people who want more information about the problems that uniquely affect women and people who can become pregnant. Developed with community-based groups and medical experts from 30 countries, this book can help anyone understand, treat, and prevent many of the health problems that affect women and anyone who can become pregnant.


Clearly written and with over 1000 drawings, Where Women Have No Doctor addresses health issues across the lifespan and considers issues specific to girls, older women, women with disabilities, and refugees. Topics include sexual health; mental health; pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding, HIV and sexually transmitted infections; rape and other violence against women; and much more.
