Protecting women’s health protects the Public Heal
 

 Health policy and health regulation must be patient centered, and evidence-based. Women’s health should be treated no differently from all other medical care. Regulations which impede or hamper access to women’s health services Under the guise of patient safety do not benefit patients. Medical regulations must not be dictated by religion political philosophy or personal ideology.
