MeditSimple, the collaborative platform that makes the life of doctors and their patients easier, launches a Centre of Excellence for Women’s Health.
Why a Centre of Excellence for women’s health?
Women can face a unique set of difficulties in their physical and emotional health.
Contraception, fertility, pregnancy and menopause bring physical and psychological changes they have to face throughout their life.
Access to healthcare is more difficult for women than for men
Fertility or menopause are rarely considered a medical emergency and women often face long waits to access the health services they need, a situation that the COVID-19 pandemic has made even worse. At the same time, women often face a barrier of education surrounding their personal health.
Women are under-diagnosed
Women are under- or misdiagnosed. Their pain is taken less seriously and often attributed to hormonal changes as this recent study shows.
Clinical studies are also often carried out on predominantly male populations.
For example, cardiovascular disease in women is diagnosed on average 7 years later than in men.
Who is involved in this Centre of Excellence?
With 25 practitioners including 20 women, MeditSimple has chosen to entrust women’s health to other women experts in their field!
The Centre is a network that brings together 3 general practitioners with specialised skills in women’s health and more than 20 specialists in the most varied fields such as
- gynaecology
