The Senate unanimously adopted a report on the issue of health from a gender perspective, which recommended, among other things, further clinical trials with women or fund research into diseases with high incidence of women such as osteoporosis. This report, drawn up following the conclusions of the paper's 2005 study on health problems in Spain from the perspective of gender, has had appearances by health officials, women's associations and academics in this field. According to the findings, women live longer despite years "are most deficient health and live worse than men, and pay more to maintain their health, despite which, the report said," have become invisible to medical science many biological, clinical, psychological and environmental differences between men and women. "
The report, adopted unanimously by the parliamentary groups in the Committee on Health and Consumer Affairs of the Senate, and likely to be ratified at the plenary session of the Senate, demonstrates the need for gender mainstreaming in health and urges both health administrations and the policies to take various actions.
On health concluded that there is no specific research on the health of women because two thirds of them are carried out only in males, and therefore recommends the conduct of clinical trials always include women as subjects and that health surveys include a gender perspective. Also calls for increased funding for the study of risk factors for morbidity and mortality in women, as well as for the investigation of disease with high incidence in the female population as fibromyalgia and osteoporosis.
regard to occupational health, the report proposes the reduction of working hours, flexible time or the implementation of policies for specialized care to women living in rural areas. It also recommends the inclusion as the accident occurred in the home as a result of the use of chemicals and labor and health authorities to ensure the health of a coordinated group of women caregivers for dependents.
