Very well. I understand that one possible measure to tackle cervical cancer is to combine vaccination and screening. Let’s keep in mind that this is one of the few cancers for which we have a vaccine and on which we can really take action. In a few years, it will be interesting to see the impact of this vaccination on that type of cancer.
Ms. Moriarty, you mentioned in your opening remarks that, according to some health research institutes in Canada, sex and gender influence the risk of developing certain diseases, reactions to medical treatment, and the frequency with which a person seeks health care. In addition, gender is one of 12 health determinants identified by the Public Health Agency of Canada.
As you said, there’s a bit of a narrower approach, certain things that are exclusively for men, and others that are specific to women. Please give us a few more examples of how sex and gender factors can have different effects on women’s health compared to men’s.
