gender and medicine

Gender and medicine explore how biological differences (such as chromosomes and hormones) and social roles influence health, treatment, and healthcare experiences. Recognizing gender differences helps ensure personalized, effective care for all individuals. It involves understanding that people may have diverse health needs based on their gender identity, and addressing disparities, biases, and gaps in medical research. Ultimately, integrating gender perspectives aims to improve health outcomes, promote equity, and respect each person's unique biological and social context.
