Endometriosis – why are so many women underdiagnosed? To mark #EndometriosisAwarenessMonth, JFPR Consulting invited us to collaborate on online panel discussion series where we delved deep into the world of #Endometriosis, a condition affecting millions worldwide, yet often misunderstood and underdiagnosed. 🗣 We were honoured to speak to Mr Zaid Hasafa, a leading Gynaecologist and Endometriosis Specialist at New Victoria Hospital, alongside Mathilde Barker, a dancer and influencer in the endometriosis community, joined by Liz Connor, a moderator and health writer at JFPR Consulting. We sat down to tackle some of the myths and misconceptions surrounding #Endometriosis, shedding light on its prevalence, challenges, and pathways to advocacy. ✔ From the economic burden in the UK, to the crucial need for increased education among healthcare professionals, our discussion delved into the heart of this often-misunderstood condition. With 1 in 10 women of reproductive age affected, the urgency to raise awareness and foster support has never been clearer. ℹ This was an insightful discussion, full of fresh information and advice that could help both patients and specialists. 👉 Watch the full conversation: https://lnkd.in/e_X9s4kN If you know someone with Endometriosis, do tag them in the comments and let us know your experience! #EndometriosisAwarenessMonth #Endometriosis #WomensHealth #BreakingTheSilence #EmpowerEducate

Empowering women through informed reproductive choices! Exercising reproductive agency requires full, free, and informed choice. Therefore, training healthcare providers to offer comprehensive information and respect for women's consent is crucial. Women must have the autonomy to make their own health decisions, potentially in consultation with family, but ultimately based on their consent. We are committed to educating the community about options like cesarean sections and addressing common knowledge gaps concerning costs, impacts on fertility, and the overall process to empower women to make informed decisions about their health.

Women's health programs and interventions Women's health programs and interventions play a crucial role in improving the health and well-being of half the world's population. These initiatives not only focus on medical issues but also address the social, economic, and cultural formulas that women often face. Many countries have developed reproductive health care programs, promoting and ensuring access to contraceptive services, prenatal care, and antenatal care. Creative approaches to mental health and nutrition are also prioritized, addressing specific issues faced by women, such as postpartum depression and micronutrient deficiencies. Additionally, many programs emphasize the importance of sexual and reproductive health education, domestic violence prevention, and empowering women. These initiatives aim to build a safe and supportive environment for women, thereby improving their quality of life and providing equal opportunities. The development of women's health interventions requires the collaboration of governments, health organizations, and communities. Through these cooperative efforts, we can ensure that all women, regardless of their socioeconomic status, can access and promote comprehensive health care services.#GlobalHealthNews #HealthcareTrends #InternationalHealthcare #HealthcarePartners #PublicHealthOrganizations #GlobalHealthCollaboration #HealthPolicyAnalysis #GlobalHealthGovernance #EvidenceBasedPolicy #HealthTech #MedicalInnovation #DigitalHealth #AskTheExpert #HealthcareLeadership #MedicalExpertise #ComparativeHealthcare #GlobalHealthSystems #HealthcareModels WeeklyHealthRecap #GlobalHealthForecast #HealthcareFuture #strongbodyai #strongbody.ai #strongbody

Only 4% of global R&D funding goes towards women's health products and services This chronic underfunding not only stifles innovation, but holds back progress for half the population. Plus, women's health concerns are often not taken seriously or are quickly dismissed Diseases like endometriosis, affecting 1 in 10 women, remain severely underfunded and under-researched The siloed nature of women's healthcare is fragmented and frustrating, with different specialists handling different aspects of care What's missing? A personalized, holistic model that accounts for each woman's circumstances and provides adequate education and support. Too many women feel uninformed and unsupported when it comes to reproductive health, menopause, chronic conditions, etc. 💪🏻 I applaud and stand behind the trailblazers and leaders working to change this narrative through investments, advocacy, integrated care models, and a strong focus on the patient experience 𝙒𝙚 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙯𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙣'𝙨 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙩𝙝 - 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙫𝙤𝙞𝙘𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙖 𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚. #Healthcare #WomensHealth #HealthcareEquity

Many women face problems like long waiting lists, varying quality of care and difficulties accessing women's health services. Women's Health Hubs, rolling out across the UK, could help by bringing services together. Looking at the first 17 hubs, we found: 🏥 Most areas of the UK didn't have a Women's Health Hub 👩⚕️ Hubs varied widely and provided services including coil fitting, help for heavy or painful periods, menopause and bladder issues 🙂 Women mostly had a positive experience of the hubs, but we need more information on how much difference they make to women's health. Experts call for policymakers and NHS leaders to design women's health hubs that meet local needs, involving diverse women in the process.
