This list of recommended non-profit and government websites is Part 5 of Women Wading Through the Web: A Health Toolkit.
Go to www.womenshealthmatters.ca/toolkit.pdf to download the rest of the kit in PDF format.
Whenever possible, we chose Canadian websites unless an international site was much more comprehensive. Keep in mind that websites from outside of Canada may use different drug names and measurements than those used in Canada. The health-care systems will also be different.
The list is a selection from the Health A-Z section of womenshealthmatters.ca. For additional websites, go to www.womenshealthmatters.ca/resources.
