Over the past several years, we\u2019ve been privy to myriad stories from women in our community who did not receive the medical care they needed when they needed it most. Their stories of missed diagnoses and misdiagnoses are part of a phenomenon called the women\u2019s healthcare gap: a term used to describe the disparity in care between female patients and their male counterparts. <\/p>\n

So what\u2019s to blame for the healthcare gap? According to the Women\u2019s Health Collective Canada (a strategic alliance founded by three of the country\u2019s leading women\u2019s health and hospital foundations \u2013 BC Women\u2019s Health Foundation, Alberta Women\u2019s Health Foundation, and Women\u2019s College Hospital Foundation),<\/b> it\u2019s caused by a lack of research and awareness of the health issues affecting women. <\/p>\n

\u201cWithout research, doctors are not equipped. Without research, women\u2019s health experiences are not validated, and without research, women are unable to live their lives to the fullest, participate in our economy, and lead communities.\u201d <\/i>\u2013 Sharlene Rutherford President and Chief Executive Officer Alberta Women\u2019s Health Foundation<\/p>\n

The WHCC has set out to increase awareness and research and we\u2019re helping to amplify their call for public support.<\/b><\/p>\n

Seeing the sheer number of women whose health and wellbeing have suffered due to a lack of understanding of the female body is what made us instant supporters of the WHCC\u2019s mission, so we thought we\u2019d give you a chance to get acquainted with these stories as well. They were all submitted by women in our private forum \u2013 their names have been omitted to protect their privacy. <\/p>\n
