Social Gender Medicine

Social Gender Medicine is an approach that recognizes how social, cultural, and gender-related factors influence health and medical treatment. It considers how gender roles, identities, and expectations shape experiences, access to care, and health outcomes. By understanding these influences outside of biological differences alone, it aims to provide more personalized, equitable healthcare that respects each individual's gender identity and social context, ultimately improving diagnosis, treatment, and health equity for all genders.
