⚕️ “Women’s symptoms have been poorly studied, and since we don’t recognize them, we ignore them.” – Dr. Blanca Coll-Vinent Despite advances in medicine, there’s a persistent gap in how women’s health is understood and treated. Women’s symptoms often go unrecognized, leading to delays in diagnosis and treatment for conditions that disproportionately affect them. 💔 🔬 Key Issues Highlighted by Dr. Coll-Vinent: Women’s symptoms are under-researched compared to men’s. Heart attacks and other conditions present differently in women, yet these signs are often overlooked. The lack of understanding perpetuates gender bias in medical care.\ It’s time for change. Medical research must prioritize studying women’s symptoms to ensure equitable healthcare for all. Have you or someone you know faced challenges in being heard or diagnosed?

As we acknowledged #WorldHealthDay on April 7th, let us bring to the forefront, disparities for women's health, especially black women in the healthcare sector. Despite progress, these inequities persist. The story of Jessica Pettway is a stark reminder of the racial disparities in healthcare. Black women are more likely to be misdiagnosed and face delays in getting treatment for cervical cancer. Here are some key areas where we need to focus our efforts, especially our leaders: - Access to reproductive healthcare - Gender-inclusive research - Awareness and education - Healthcare provider bias - Mental health support - Addressing violence against women - And the Intersectionality of all the above We have a role to play, together we can bridge these gaps and ensure all women have access to equitable, respectful, and comprehensive healthcare.

Why does International Universal Health Day come right immediately after the Marathon 16 Days of Activism? Surprisingly, Duty Bearers and key stakeholders are yet to see the Gender Human Rights Violations and Abuse in their Inability to provide the 4A of Healthcare. #Health4All To say there is #Health4All Healthcare at all cadres especially at the #PHCs MUST be - Adequate - Accessible - Available and - Affordable We are adopting a multi-stakeholders approach to see this is achieved, and it's interesting with what we are learning to improve the system.

“Societal structures continue to perpetuate health inequities in gender minority populations. For example, evidence demonstrates that transgender populations experience higher rates of discrimination by health professionals and worse physical and mental health compared to cis-heterosexual populations." A scoping review is underway to identify what frameworks are used to develop and deliver mandatory curricula that integrate justice, equity, diversity, inclusion, and anti-oppression concepts in entry-level healthcare professional education.
