Women's Health Special

Women's health has long been the poor relation when it comes to medical understanding, funding and research - to say the least. The government says it wants that to change - and earlier this year announced the establishment of England's first Women's Health Strategy which will look at women's health across our lifespans. The priorities of that strategy will be shaped, they say, by the results of a public call for evidence which closes this Sunday. But after centuries of - as the Health Secretary Matt Hancock put it - 'living with a health and care system that is mostly designed by men, for men', what sort of confidence should we have in this strategy bringing about meaningful change?
