THIS week, June 13 – 19 was Men’s Health Week, an annual event targeted at increasing awareness of male health issues on a global level and encouraging the development of health policies and services that meet the specific needs of men, boys, and their families.

This year’s theme for Men’s Health Week was ‘Building healthy environments for men and boys’ – focused on creating physically, mentally, and emotionally healthy environments in the home, workplace, and in social settings.
