Women are a large section of society with life-long medical needs that GPs can meet in primary care. Eight eight percent of Australian females visited a doctor in the year 2021 to 2022. Prevention as well as diagnosis and management are features of women's health including regular checks and tests for cervical cancer and others depending on presenting symptoms. General practitioners need to learn about women's health in order to effectively provide medical services to this large patient population.
