Ministers for Health Start Countdown to Men's Health Week in Ireland

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!  Find out more about the week and how you can support it / get involved, at: www.mhfi.org/mhw/mhw-2016.html

To kickstart the final countdown to MHW in Ireland, Ministers for Health Michelle O'Neill (NI) and Simon Harris (RoI), invited members of the MHW 2016 all-island Planning Group to Stormont in Belfast and Government Buildings in Dublin.  Both Ministers welcomed the celebration of MHW in Ireland, praised the practical support that their respective health services had offered, and wished everyone well with the roll-out of the week.
