The Final Countdown to Men’s Health Week 2016 has begun

We’re nearly there.  The clock is ticking ...  it won’t be long now until International Men's Health Week (MHW).  This year, it will run from Monday 13th until Sunday 19th June 2016.  The theme in Ireland will focus upon ‘Men United - for Health and Wellbeing’, and the key question is: ‘are we winning?’  If the answer is ‘no’, then it’s time to join with other people to do something positive and practical about it!

As always, the overarching aims of MHW are to:

  • Heighten awareness of preventable health problems for males of all ages.
  • Support men and boys to engage in healthier lifestyle choices and activities.
  • Encourage the early detection and treatment of health difficulties in males.


However, any events, activities and actions to mark this occasion are very welcome.
