Men's health has generally been overlooked in the self‐care field. This matters because, even though male life expectancy and healthy life expectancy have improved significantly over the past 40 years, men's health outcomes remain far poorer than they could be. Drawing on the Global Action on Men's Health's new report, the author explores how a greater focus on self‐care could make a significant difference.
