ABOUT US

VALUE BASE:

The Men's Health Forum in Ireland (MHFI) works on an all-island basis to enhance the health of men. The Forum recognises the right of everyone to good health regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, disability, race, culture, religious or political affiliations.

MHFI believes that men have the right to:

• the best possible health, irrespective of social, cultural, political or ethnic differences;

• gender-specific information and education initiatives on how to keep themselves healthy;

• equity of access to available, affordable and gender-sensitive services for all men;

• have their issues recognised and properly addressed - in a way that is not at the expense of women's or children's health, but seen as beneficial to society as a whole;

• call for greater emphasis on a partnership approach in developing future strategies or initiatives on men's health. This includes consultation between policy-makers, healthcare providers, statutory and voluntary groups working on behalf of men, employers, and men themselves.
