Women's Healthcare In China
American researchers, who traveled to China in the 1970’s during the late Cultural Revolution (1966-1976), found that there were numerous conferences in factories and in health centers about the importance of family planning and uses of contraceptives. In the Cultural Revolution, the People’s Republic of China began implementing women’s health care policy. It is individualistic in each case but most people follow the one child policy. In some instances the male or female would be sterilized, or more commonly abortion was recommended (Wegman, 222). Healthcare was something that women workers are entitled too. It was required that every female worker in China receives urinalysis and systematic vaginal examinations every year (Wegman, 222).

Famous quotes containing the words women and/or china:
“... while one-half of the people of the United States are robbed of their inherent right of personal representation in this freest country on the face of the globe, it is idle for us to expect that the men who thus rob women will not rob each other as individuals, corporations and Government.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“Riot in Algeria, in Cyprus, in Alabama;
Aged in wrong, the empires are declining,
And China gathers, soundlessly, like evidence.
What shall I say to the young on such a morning?—
Mind is the one salvation?—also grammar?—
No; my little ones lean not toward revolt.”
—William Dewitt Snodgrass (b. 1926)
