Abstract
The rights of women in the field of health should be viewed within the context of and as an extension to the rights of women in society. The authors elaborate this stance by dissecting women's poor health condi tion mired in their general, overall status in society. Any right to h ealth as consumers must, therefore, contain within itself a right, to health, which in turn implies many other rights.
