Across the industry, there is a lack of understanding of the meaning of “Women’s Health.” The term “Women’s Health” is often constrained to fertility and maternal health. However, Women’s Health encompasses not only conditions unique to women, but also general conditions, such as cardiovascular disease, anxiety, and depression, that impact women differently and/or disproportionately than their male counterparts. This lack of understanding has contributed to women’s healthcare being grossly underserved, despite women making 80% of healthcare decisions.
