Healthcare access is a human right, and at the foundation of a healthy, sustainable society. With at least 50 per cent of the world's population unable to access safe, affordable and timely healthcare services, Siemens Healthineers believes that change is essential.
Overcoming the misdiagnosis of heart attacks in women is just one example to improve women’s health globally.
A brilliant Siemens Healthineers podcast episode, Women's health - Closing the gender health gap, provides insight into how global leaders in healthcare seek to tackle the gender health gap.
Podcast discussing medical breakthroughs
Healthcare Perspectives is a podcast by Siemens Healthineers about medical breakthroughs with the power to improve the lives of patients and their families everywhere.
"With significant disparities in diagnosis, treatment, and funding when compared to men, women’s health has long been underserved," says Siemens Healthineers.
"These gaps affect not only individual health outcomes, they also have societal and economic implications which are highlighted by a recent report by the World Economic Forum and The McKinsey Health Institute which addresses a $1 trillion dollar opportunity to improve lives and economies by mitigating these disparities."
Building a more equal healthcare system for all
On the Women's health - Closing the gender health gap podcast, listeners have the opportunity to hear about crucial steps in building a more equal healthcare system for all and why societal perception, clinical practice, and financial investment all play an important part in women’s health.
Siemens Healthineers is joined by board members of the World Economic Forum’s Global Alliance for Women’s Health on the podcast as they discuss how building a more equitable healthcare system can drive meaningful change, improve healthcare for women, and create access to significant economic potential worldwide.
Siemens Healthineers Member of the Managing Board, Elisabeth Staudinger, speaks with the Minister of Economy and Finance for the Government of Morocco, Nadia Fettah and Head of the Centre for Health & Healthcare at the World Economic Forum, Shyam Bishen.
"What we see in the movies, where a middle-aged man gasps, clutches his chest and falls to the ground, may not really reflect the overall reality, especially when women are the victims of the heart attacks, leading to a lack of misdiagnosis of heart attacks or heart disease in women," explains Shyam.
