The focus on numbers is to bring male health issues to the attention of those in authority who shape health policy, as well as to men themselves
Men's Health Week kicked off on Monday and the HSE is urging awareness among men and boys of preventable health problems and supporting them in living healthier lives.
The campaign kicked off on Monday in tandem with Men's Health Week - running until Father's Day, 16 June - with a webinar which was attended by a panel of notable speakers including former Ireland international Rob Kearney. "Simple, practical steps like taking regular exercise, a change in diet and reducing alcohol consumption can all play a major role in improving health outcomes. We are encouraging all men to look at ways they can improve their health and to reach out and seek support."Director of Operations of the MHFI, Colin Fowler, says; "The statistics in the Report Cards provide some cause for optimism, along with some grounds for concern. So, there is certainly still room for improvement.
