Summary Using Tuberculosis as a case study, The Centre for Public Health Research, School of Health Sciences and Social Care, Brunel University, Uxbridge, UK. (Allotey P, Gyapong M.) said that gender studies, as an area of research, have developed to address the social, cultural and contextual factors that disproportionately affect the ability of women to promote their health and treat disease. The importance of gender in health and disease is now clearly established and increasingly evident in mainstream public health, as well as in clinical and social medicine.
