A timely reminder the gendered impact of the skewed character of medical research & its funding:

'Ending medical misogyny means closing the gender health gap, not only because it’s fair, but because it’s essential. A system that listens to women, funds their health & values their wellbeing is one that benefits society as a whole. It’s time we stop calling women’s health a “niche issue”.'

Its extraordinary that in 2025 we still need to be saying this!
