I agree, Maryann. Taking women's health seriously would do wonders for not just women, but for the state of the world. Thanks for posting.

Thank you so much for your kind words Diana. Indeed, it baffles and saddens me a bit when I hear women’s health market being referred to as a “niche” market. In my opinion, there is nothing niche about 51% of the global population, and our entire society at large.

I think you captured the problem with your sentence: "Bias against women’s health solutions remains a significant hurdle." Are you aware of Caroline Criado Perez, author of Invisible Women: Exposing Data Bias in a World Designed for Men, a book that highlights the gender gap in women's health. She's here on Substack.

thank you so much Denyse. Unfortunately this is the sad reality but I am pleased that progress is being made - not in leaps and bounds but this train is moving. We need more hands on deck for sure. Thank you for bringing Caroline to my radar! so much appreciated.
