The Women’s Brain Project was proud to have attended the HBA Gender Health Equity Summit 2023.
The current attitudes towards women’s health are often outdated.
‘Women’s issues’ still remain under addressed, minimized, trivialized, inappropriately objectified, and even ignored, leaving individuals bearing multiple burdens and unable to get the support they need.
At the same time, in the past few decades, we have seen huge leaps in science, technology and social awareness.
We now have the capabilities, resources, and willpower to challenge bias and conventions, break taboos and normalize more open discussion and awareness around women’s health.
Gender discrepancies within healthcare have made many headlines in recent years. In 2016, the World Health Organization (WHO) found that although women in the European Union live longer than men, they spend more of their lives in poor health.
We can use hard data, compelling insights and innovative thinking to change attitudes, beliefs, processes, and systems to improve the lives of women in the workplace and beyond.
“We are in a blessed era because medicine is advancing at a very fast pace. So once we identify the gaps we have all the tools to resolve them and address them. That's what the Women's Brain Project has been doing since 2017,” says Dr Antonella Chadha Santuccione.
Thank you to Healthcare Businesswomen’s Association for this incredible summit.
