Women’s Healthcare Initiatives and Outcomes in the United Kingdom
The United Kingdom has recently intensified its focus on women’s health through the implementation of the Women’s Health Strategy for England. This initiative aims to tackle the "gender health gap" by addressing systemic issues in how the healthcare system listens to and treats women.
