Ladies have been excluded from analysis and are underserved in domains comparable to cardiac well being. This Well being Hole impacts the well being and high quality of lifetime of all ladies, particularly these in marginalized communities. This video highlights the healthcare inequities confronted by ladies world wide, and proposes actions that may be taken by college students, healthcare professionals, and residents to shut the Gender Well being Hole.
This video was made by McMaster Demystifying Drugs college students Susanna MacLeod, Guneet Mahal, and Gursharan Mann.
