Closing the Gap: Addressing Gender Inequities in Healthcare
Despite rapid advances in the field of medicine, the needs and physiology of women and girls continue to be overlooked within the healthcare system. Women have been excluded from research and are underserved in domains such as cardiac health. This Health Gap impacts the health and quality of life of all women, especially those in marginalized communities. This video highlights the healthcare inequities faced by women around the world, and proposes actions that can be taken by students, healthcare professionals, and citizens to close the Gender Health Gap.
This video was made by McMaster Demystifying Medicine students Susanna MacLeod, Guneet Mahal, and Gursharan Mann.
