Women’s health.
Existing law requires the State Department of Public Health, among other things, to develop a coordinated state strategy for addressing the health-related needs of women and requires the department to place priority on providing information to consumers, patients, and health care providers regarding women’s gynecological cancers, including signs and symptoms, risk factors, the benefits of early detection through appropriate diagnostic testing, and treatment options.
This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.
