Did you know that almost half of the women's health burden reflects conditions that affect women disproportionally?
Women spend 25% more of their lives in poor health than men, due to poor care delivery and a lack of research and treatment for diseases that affect women more.
That’s why we need:
1⃣ More research on diseases that disproportionately affect women (47%) and how sex affects disease manifestation (4%)
2⃣ Diverse clinical trial enrollment and leadership
3⃣ Equitable representation in all fields of medicine
Women As One is on a mission to help lift the global women’s health burden in partnership with industry leaders.
