International Men’s Health Week begins

Men’s Health Week, celebrated annually during the week ending on Father’s Day, honours the importance of the health and wellness of boys and men. Father’s Day was chosen as the anchor to make use of the extra attention paid to male family members near that holiday.

Men’s Health Week provides an opportunity to educate the public about what can be done to improve the state of men’s health.

The goal is to increase awareness of male health issues on a global level and to encourage inter- and intra-national institutions to develop health policies and services that meet the specific needs of men, boys, and their families.
