Day 1: Women’s Health Gap and Healthcare Strategies for Lifelong Well-Being
This webinar will explore disparities in women’s healthcare and their impact on health outcomes, productivity, and economic growth.
Discussions will highlight the tendency to focus on sex-specific and high-mortality diseases while often overlooking chronic conditions that lead to disability and lower quality of life. Key challenges, including gaps in care delivery and unequal access to healthcare across different economic settings, will also be examined.
Experts will present strategies for early prevention, timely diagnosis, and equitable care, emphasizing the role of Diagnostic Imaging, Digital Health, and AI. The economic consequences of health disparities will be addressed, showcasing how improving women’s healthcare can enhance workforce participation, reduce absenteeism, and lower long-term healthcare costs.
This two-day webinar event will explore solutions to advance women’s health and economic empowerment.
