Women make up over half the global population, yet until
recently, most health research wasn’t designed with women in
mind.
About this Event

Women have been historically underrepresented in medical research and clinical trials, leading to treatments primarily designed for men.

This gap affects crucial areas like cardiovascular health, reproductive health, autoimmune diseases, and aging-related conditions.

Join us to address these disparities and advance gender-specific healthcare solutions.
