In a bid to draw attention to the often overlooked health-related issues affecting men from culturally and linguistically diverse communities (CALD), the ECCV Health Policy Sub-committee decided that its main focus would be on this in 2014. A roundtable discussion, ‘Men’s health matter because men matter’, was conducted on 4 September 2014. Male participants of various cultural backgrounds and people working in the field of men’s health were invited. Topics for discussions were divided into three categories - overall men’s attitudes and perceptions towards health, men’s knowledge and usage of health services, and solutions and best practice to improve the health outcomes of men from culturally diverse communities. 

This summary report of the Roundtable Discussion ‘Men’s health matters because men matter’ is important as it provides insights into health issues affecting them and solutions to encourage them to reconnect with the health services and take their health more seriously.
