Women, Rodriguez says, are more likely than men to get on health issues and learn. They are there to transfer the information to your family and friends.
"And when they come, followed from a year," he said.
The Conference adopted the slogan "It's all about you" a few years ago.
"This is just the news about women to get the care for themselves," said Rodriguez. "The reason why we still know that women work hard and want to promote a healthy lifestyle."
