When women's health is overlooked, the impact goes far beyond the doctor's office. It can affect careers, finances, and long-term wellbeing.
In this episode of Perspectives, Dr. Sheila Wijayasinghe MD, CCFP explains why women's health has historically been under-researched and under-prioritized, and why that still shapes care and outcomes today.
Dr. Sheila notes that in Canada, about 93% of health research is done on men, while just 7% focuses on women's health. She breaks down why that gap matters, how it can delay diagnosis and treatment, and why women have so often been left out of the conversation.
