International Women’s Day Highlights Inequality in the Medical Field
Where do female patients and healthcare providers fit in when it comes to gender equality?
March 8, 2020 International Women’s Day and this year’s theme is “Make it Happen.” One thing many people would like to see happen in the healthcare industry is a greater focus on equality.
Whether it’s for patients or providers, the issue of equality is a complex one.
Women's health encompasses a wide range of specializations and focus areas, such as birth control, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), as well as gynecology, and it differs from that of men in many unique ways.
Birth control is widely available, and there are many women in management-level positions at hospitals and in medical schools. But ongoing public debates on women’s health issues show there’s still a long way to go to attain full equality in America.

Women's Health market is anticipated to grow in the forecast period owing to an increase in the population of geriatric women, increasing adoption of an unhealthy lifestyle, and introduction of novel medicines for women can be attributed to the market growth. Moreover, favorable policies initiated by the government to improve women's health and raise awareness are likely to propel the market growth.
Health needs and services for various populations have come to the forefront as states work to make their systems more efficient and consider covering additional people under federal health reform implementation. This brief, the third in a series about women’s health, highlights diseases and health challenges common to women, opportunities to improve access to care and effective treatment, and strategies to prevent conditions and health problems before they become problematic and expensive.
Women, who are key in maintaining healthy families, access the health system more than men, both for themselves and on behalf of their children. Many become pregnant and give birth, a significant health event, then typically become their child’s primary caregiver, a role that greatly influences household health overall. Elder and long-term care issues affect women more often because they live longer; have higher rates of disability and chronic health problems; and lower incomes than men on average, which puts them at greater need for state and community resources, such as Medicaid.
Across her lifespan, a woman’s health status matters to herself, her family and to state budgets. Legislators are wrestling with tight budgets and changing health laws—including the realities of implementing federal health reform under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). If women’s needs are overlooked in these discussions, however, states lose important opportunities to improve the health of residents and gain partners in creating a healthier society.
