妇女的健康权已多次得到重申。然而，发展中国家存在着阻碍增强妇女权能的社会和文化障碍。妇女地位低下、被剥夺受教育的权利以及对自己的生活和身体缺乏控制，对她们及其家人的健康状况产生了不利影响。本文讨论了在社会中的四个权力机构----家庭、社区、保健系统和国家----的框架内赋予妇女权力和保健问题，并特别提到了巴基斯坦的情况。报告的结论是，为了改善妇女的健康状况，所有这些权力机构都需要作出协调一致的努力，努力实现两性平等和进一步赋予妇女权力。
Women's right to health has been reiterated many times. However, there are social and cultural barriers in developing countries that hinder their empowerment. Women's low status, deprivation of education and lack of control over their own lives and bodies have a negative impact on their health status and that of their families. This paper discusses women's empowerment and health within the framework of the 4 institutions of power in a society-family, community, health care systems and the state--with special reference to the situation in Pakistan. It concludes that to improve women's health status, concerted efforts are needed by all these institutions of power to work towards gender equality and the greater empowerment of women.
