Morphology
women's + health
The phrase denotes the health or healthcare of women and is directly derivable from "women's" (possessive of women) + "health" (state of being free from illness). This is a straightforward possessive noun + noun construction found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will readily understand the meaning.
Etymology
The phrase women's health comes from the simple idea of women + health: attention and care for women's bodies and health needs. So today women's health means 'medical care, checkups, and services for women'.
