Description

The WHO's “Global Strategy for Women's, Children's, and Adolescents' Health 2016-2030” (GS-WCAH 2016-2030) is a comprehensive plan developed to improve the lives of women, children, and adolescents. Due to the success in the creation, ratification, and advocacy of the GS-WCAH 2016-2030, the clear health outcome disparities between males and females, and the general absence of male health from existing policies and sponsored programs, it is time now to develop a global strategy specifically drafted to improve the lives of men and boys. The following commentary provides three points for why a male-oriented program, like the GS-WCAH 2016-2030, should be created: 1) health outcomes disparities; 2) economic impact of poor male health; and 3) fathers' role in promoting the health of women, children, and adolescents.
