This includes giving women information about healthy lifestyles, as well as providing preventative tests to check for disease. This section has been designed to give women information on different types of tests that are available to detect early stages of diseases that may occur. It also includes information about other social and preventative issues such as domestic violence, exercise, nutrition and smoking cessation.
