Gender Disparities in Healthcare

Gender disparities in healthcare refer to differences in the quality, access, and outcomes of medical treatment between men and women. These disparities can result from biological differences, social biases, and unequal healthcare practices. Women may face longer diagnosis times for certain conditions, receive less targeted treatment, or have their symptoms dismissed more often than men. Addressing these differences is essential to ensure fair, effective care for everyone, recognizing that gender influences health needs and experiences. Reducing disparities improves health outcomes for all by promoting equitable and personalized healthcare.
