Women make up 51% of the population, yet only 28% of scientists are women, and only 8% of Canada’s national funding goes to women’s health research – leading to a large and often dangerous gap in healthcare system, policies, and practices. Host Jennifer Bernard is joined by Dr. Rulan Parekh, VP Academics, Women's College Hospital and Dr. Cindy Maxwell, VP Medical Affairs and System Transformation, Women’s College Hospital to discuss the gender bias in healthcare, how it can lead to barriers in accessing necessary and life-saving health services, and what we can do to overcome them.
