We're not (!) all the same: Addressing women's health as a priority

Speakers:

About this Session:

For too long women’s health has been the underdog. From funding to research, despite the gap closing slightly in recent years, women’s health still lags behind. And like the stepsister trying on Cinderella’s slipper, healthcare’s one-size-fits-all approach across biological sexes doesn’t work.Women have unique physiological, hormonal, and reproductive needs that deserve attention and prioritisation. From reproductive health and menopause, to breast cancer, mental health and understanding how conditions present differently in males and females, healthcare must invest in recognising and respecting the incredible diversity of female biology and the unique healthcare needs of women.Let's rewrite the script and give women's health the starring role it deserves - because we're not all the same, and our health should never be treated as a one-size-fits-all equation.
