We celebrate women in MedTech on international women's day – and everyday TCC is focused on innovation and progress. We want to make a lasting improvement to the healthcare industry and enable modern care for everyone. Striving for fairness and balanced conditions is not only a core value for us in our projects, but also when it comes to building our powerful team. We are proud that, as a young MedTech company, we have a female employee quota of 60%. A percentage we achieve because we employ people who think big and are highly qualified. We are proud of every one of our employees, and especially today, on International Women's Day, we are proud that we have so many great women who are fundamental to achieving our goals. We hope that this progress will continue in the marketplace and that we can build the future together. Happy International Women's Day! #innovation #progressinhealthcare #fairnessandequality #balancedconditions #womeninmedtech #medtech #genderdiversity #internationalwomensday #internationalwomensday2024 #medtechleadership #buildingthefuture #TCC 

As we commemorate National Women’s Day on the 9th of August, we honour the legacy of those remarkable women who stood resolute against injustice and oppression. Their courage not only challenged the discriminatory pass laws of the time but also laid a foundation for future generations to build upon. Their iconic protest, marked by the stirring words “Now you have touched the women, you have struck a rock,” symbolises an enduring strength and defiance in the face of adversity. This day serves as a reminder of the power of collective action and the unwavering spirit of women who have fought for justice and equality. As we reflect on this significant historical event, let us draw inspiration from their bravery and commitment. Their legacy encourages us to continue striving for a more just and equitable society. Let us carry forward their spirit by advocating for change, supporting one another, and working tirelessly towards a world where equality and opportunity are not just ideals but realities for all. This week, SAMED is launching the Women’s Empowerment Index platform. While this initiative marks a significant step towards fostering equality and diversity in the MedTech industry, our work is far from over. The platform represents a commitment to transparency and inclusivity, ensuring that every individual, regardless of gender, race, creed, or age, has the opportunity to succeed. This effort aligns with the enduring spirit of the courageous women who marched on August 9, 1956, demanding justice and equality. To all our colleagues and industry members, let us embrace the opportunity this platform provides, to drive meaningful change. Let us continue to support and uplift one another, advocating for fairness, and championing diversity at every level of our organisations. As Mahatma Gandhi wisely said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.” Let us honour this call by actively participating in the Women’s Empowerment Index, and by contributing to a more equitable and inclusive industry. Together, let us strive to be the change and make a lasting impact. So, the question is “What have you done today, to make you feel proud?” - Scott De Oliveira, SAMED Vice-Chairperson and Diversity in Medtech Committee Chairperson This post is worth resharing! 🎉 #womensmonth #womenempowerment #sdg5 #samed #medtech #change #genderequality

🌐 Celebrating International Women's Day! 🌟 This #IWD2024, let's pledge to #InvestInWomen! 💪 From boardrooms to classrooms, empowering women isn't just the right thing to do; it's the smart thing to do. Diverse perspectives fuel innovation, drive success, and create a world where every woman has the opportunity to thrive. Even investing in women's health and wellness. We make up half the population yet, health systems are not designed for us. Access to gynecological care tends to have longer wait times than to see a urologist for similar issues. Also, gynos are paid on average $250k for their services while urologists make $2.5m. Innovation and technology advances tend to be less frequent for women's health than men's as well. Just a small investment in women's health innovation could see a dramatic improvement on outcomes, cost to our system, quality of life and much more. Let's champion equality, break barriers, and build a future where every woman's potential is unleashed. Here's to the incredible women making waves, and to a world where investments in women lead to boundless possibilities! 🚀 #BalanceForBetter #WomenInBusiness #EmpowerHer #InternationalWomensDay

🌟 Happy International Women's Day 2024! 🌟 This year, on International Women's Day, we recognize the transformative power of investing in women to accelerate progress and create a more equitable world. As we celebrate the achievements of women across all industries and sectors, let us not forget the incredible contributions of women in healthcare. Women in healthcare play a vital role in improving lives, promoting well-being, and advancing medical research and innovation. Their tireless dedication has led to groundbreaking discoveries, improved patient outcomes, and the development of more inclusive and patient-centered healthcare systems. Investing in women in healthcare means providing them with equal opportunities, support, and resources to thrive in their careers. It means breaking down barriers, addressing gender disparities, and ensuring that women have a seat at the table where decisions are made. By empowering and investing in women, we can foster an environment that encourages diversity, collaboration, and innovation in healthcare. We can unlock the full potential of women in healthcare, leading to improved healthcare outcomes for all individuals and communities. On this International Women's Day, let us commit to investing in women in healthcare. Together, we can create a future where all women have the chance to excel, where their ideas and expertise are valued, and where their impact on healthcare knows no bounds. Join us in celebrating the achievements of women in healthcare and advocating for their continued empowerment. Together, let's invest in women and accelerate progress towards a more equal and inclusive world. #IWD2024 #InvestInWomen #AccelerateProgress

Who leaves everything to the last minute? That'll be me then 😬 I often feel I'm spinning so many plates that it's only a deadline (and a whole load of cortisol) that focuses the mind. Innovate UK Women in Innovation Award. Opens - 13th May Closes - 10th July Emma 🤓 Starts 5th July Submits 9th July It's done now and I can forget about it, now on to the next project. #womenininnovation #digitalhealth #womenintech #healthsector

On this World's Women's Day, I would like to raise two aspects within the Healthcare industry that are too often neglected – women's health, and women's roles in the healthcare systems. While the first is gaining more and more attention, and rightfully so, the world is still not adequately addressing the latter. For women working in the healthcare sector, improvement has been regrettably slow; The majority of them are working as nurses, and while the number of women doctors increase – they are still fighting a glass-ceiling with their aspirations to take on leadership roles, such as Heads of Department, Hospital Managers, or CEO's in healthcare companies and more; On this World's Women's Day 2024, I stand alongside women in the healthcare industry, and support them as we all work together towards narrowing the gender-gap between men and women in the healthcare world. PS. Just to share my personal story: At the age of 18y, I really wanted to become a doctor but didn't go to medical school as I thought I was not smart enough. Stigma and fear of entering this world, still dominated by men, somehow upheld me. No one was there to tell me wrong and to support me persuing my dream. Many years after, and still passionate about healthcare, I founded Medix Global, a healthcare management company delivering quality health services to millions of people worldwide. So every year on International Women's day, I strongly remind myself and others, the importance of promoting equal opportunities for women in our sector and praise all women who have dared and made it successfully. You lead by example and promote this much needed societal change! May our joint efforts be fruitful and meaningful for many women! #healthcare #womenhealth #internationalwomensday2024 #leadership #genderequality #womenempoweringwomen

'Why are you working together to host The Great Women In Business Meetup, are you not competition for each other?' This is something that we have been asked several times since our four networks have announced that we are collectively hosting this event. So, why are Socially Shared Womens Business Support Network, Womens Business Network Ltd, Dawn Owen's High Vibe Tribe and Woman Who, hosting this collectively? We are working together because while we are all Women in Business Networks, we all have something different to offer, a unique business proposition. We also truly want to support women in business and employment to be the best they can be and have access to the support they need. We believe that we are stronger together and can achieve more through collaboration. We have also networked together for years and got to know one another. We have the trust and understanding of each other and have a unique blend of skills that we believe make us a force for good! Networking and building our professional business relationships with each other has enabled us to put the element of competition to one side and see the REAL benefits of working together. If you are wondering if you should invest your time and money in attending our event, then wonder no more. It's been through networking that we are now working together and enjoying the success that this collaboration brings. You could meet your next client, customer, service provider, collaborator, colleague or friend at the Great Women In Business Meetup. Book your ticket and join us for a day to truly remember!
