Welcome to the Women's Health Network Malaysia
We are proud to announce the launch of the Women's Health Network Malaysia that is dedicated to improving and advancing the health and well-being of women and girls across our nation.
Our Foundation
The Women's Health Network Malaysia emerged from the ground-breaking Women's Health Research Symposium in 2024, which presented a crucial and timely opportunity to address the multifaceted challenges women face in Malaysia. This symposium was convened by a team of passionate academic clinicians and researchers from Monash University Malaysia and Australia.
This transformative initiative led by Monash University Malaysia, includes members from the Ministry of Health, Malaysia, O&G Society of Malaysia (OGSM), NGOs e.g RRAAM and Monash University Australia. The strength of the network and its relationships with local and government agencies and established international collaborations, like The South East Asia Community Observatory (SEACO) and the Monash Women's Health Alliance are crucial for our ongoing success and global impact. We hope to expand this network further.
Why This Matters?
As a multidisciplinary group, we identified key research priorities and values in Women's Health in Malaysia. It is clear that a multifaceted approach – one that includes addressing health disparities, strengthening the healthcare system, promoting health literacy and awareness, and fostering collaboration between government agencies, NGOs and civil society organisations, is needed to address the challenges women in Malaysia face comprehensively.
Our Guiding Principle: "Empower, Ensure, and Establish"
We are committed to empowering women to take charge of their own health, ensuring seamless provision of health initiatives, and establishing platforms that support these goals regardless of social class.
Join Our Movement in Leading the Future of Women's Health in Malaysia
The Women’s Health Network aim to lead a cohesive and exciting Women's Health program in Malaysia. We aim to be a catalyst for innovative and interdisciplinary research collaboration. This initiative will foster the exchange of knowledge and the development of actionable strategies to improve the health and well-being of women in Malaysia across their life span.
We invite healthcare professionals, researchers, advocates, policymakers, and community members to join us in this vital work. Together, we can create lasting change that ensures women's health is prioritized, protected, and promoted across all sectors of society.
