Driving Women’s Health Equity <\/b><\/p>\n

The Journal of Women’s Health<\/a>\u00a0shared that globally, nearly three-quarters of diseases that primarily impact women are underfunded. A report by the Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD) Alliance<\/a>\u00a0further emphasized that women worldwide persistently face gender-based challenges in accessing prevention, early detection, diagnosis, treatment, and care for NCD. It also found that two out of every three women die<\/a>\u00a0from an NCD. Moreover, according to the World Economic Forum 2023, a survey found that at least 1 in 5 female patients in Asia-Pacific<\/span> even delayed their access to healthcare due to family duties.<\/p>\n

By focusing on the challenges faced by females, DKSH Business Unit Healthcare aims to encourage greater support, improved access, increased awareness, and decisive action for health equity. Bijay Singh<\/span>, Global Head Business Unit Healthcare, DKSH said: “We believe that healthcare is a fundamental right for everyone. As the leading healthcare business partner in Asia<\/span> and beyond, we witness firsthand the challenges many women encounter when it comes to their health. From chronic conditions to preventable diseases, the need for greater support is urgent and real. By choosing to focus on the message of ‘Equity in Women’s Health’ for this year’s ‘Patient Purpose Day’, DKSH encourages, advocates and supports programs to provide better healthcare for all, especially women.”<\/p>\n
