Did you know – the misdiagnosis risk of a heart attack is higher in women.
The gender data gap has led to a fundamental lack of understanding of the influences of sex on disease, with a number of resulting health inequalities. For example, women continue to be underrepresented in research for heart disease, meaning there is a lack of awareness of disparities in signs and symptoms, which can have dire consequences.
We know that to drive significant change we must first and foremost address the obstacles standing in the way of gender equity in healthcare.
Women’s health is close to my heart, and there is no one-size fits all. But through awareness - and insisting that your voice be heard - we can make a difference.
