Abstract:

Every age has its evils, ethos and values; every age has its limitations and abolitionists in relative terms. In a war situation, my thoughts are always how the women cope with the perilous situation; how their welfare and health management will survive the ordeal; when girls are kidnapped, I think not only on their marginalization but how they will sustain such unique health issues associated with womanhood under their captors such as menstruation, child birth care, osteoporosis, etc, with its health care complexities.Women therefore need health care more and access to the health care system more than do men. This is partly due to their reproductive and sexual health needs; they also have more chronic non-reproductive health issues such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, mental illness, diabetes and osteoporosis. Women’s health includes a wide range of specialties and focus areas, such as: Birth control, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and gynecology. Breast cancer, ovarian cancer and other female cancers are not the only diseases common to women.. Mammography, menopause and hormone therapy, osteoporosis, pregnancy and childbirth issues are some of the others. It is obvious that women and men are not the same, particularly when it comes to their health risks. Mary Mitchel Slessor ( 2 December 1848-13 January 1915) was a Scottish missionary to Nigeria and she left her footprints in the sands of time in Nigeria. She advanced the cause of women; she was a nurse and was humble enough to learn the local dialects in order to fit to the environmental demands of the people of the Calabar region of Nigeria where she lived with. She spread Christianity while promoting women’s rights and protected native children. She is most famous for abolishing the primitive practice of infanticide of twins among the Ibibio people, an ethnic group in southeastern Nigeria. Over 100 years ago, in a harsh and uncharitable environment, this woman contributed to the emancipation of women’s right and she used her wealth of experience, personal sacrifices, resources and religion to contributed to health care and women’s health. She demonstrated that holistic understanding of the environmental factors, interacting and mutual respect for the local would aid the health care and women’s health and she succeeded in this. This work will examine how her works contributed significantly to the health care and women’s health in South-Eastern Nigeria; the number of children she saved, how her education impacted on the local citizenry and how ironically she died of malaria in 1915. In the final analysis, we will look, demonstrate and view a gamut of issues that affect health care and women’s health in this challenging and dynamic millennium.
