It's a privilege to be a woman. Gifted with the ability to procreate, she stands apart. Being able to carry a child and become a mother is a dream for most women.

Thus the disease has done much to shift the focus of medical care away from an exclusive orientation towards physical well-being, to one which includes emotional well-being and quality of life.
