In a ColoradoBiz article, Dr. Savita Ginde details how we must challenge the way gender is perceived in healthcare during Women’s History Month and every day.
Here’s an excerpt from her story:
Gender bias is a result of sexism, and it leads to outcomes that negatively affect the medical diagnosis and quality of healthcare women receive, leading to substantial delays in diagnosis, misdiagnosis, and even death. There are global inequalities in women’s healthcare and, despite the best intentions and hard work of many people, widespread gender bias still exists and causes more and more harm.
