Women in medicine still pay the price of a system made for men

The article discusses ongoing gender disparities in medical research and healthcare systems, highlighting how historical reliance on male-centric data has led to gaps in understanding women's health. It features Prof. Dr. Hanneke Takkenberg and Prof. Dr. Jeanine Roeters van Lennep, directors of a Dutch research center focused on women's health, who emphasize the need for gender-specific research and systemic change. The center recently celebrated its first anniversary, and the directors explain the necessity of prioritizing women's health as a scientific, economic, and social priority. The piece underscores the underfunding of women's health research and calls for greater investment and policy reform.
