On the International Women's Day we want to address the THE WOMEN’S HEALTH GAP
Research in women’s health primarily focuses on diseases with high mortality, overlooking diseases leading to disability. Many gynecological conditions are neglected because research and investment focuses on saving lives rather than adding healthy years to lives. As pointed out in the report by McKinsey Health Institute: “In all, when tackling women’s health, the solution is not to divide more slices of one pie: it’s to make more pie.”

At Gedea Biotech AB, we know that many women spend years, literally, with recurring vaginal infections and even more time worrying about the next episode of BV or fungal infection. Our aim is to decrease years spent with debilitating gynecological conditions.

Today Eva Norell from Gedea Biotech AB attended the Nordic-African Women’s Health conference Organized by the Women African Ambassadors in Sweden, Ferring Pharmaceuticals and United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) at the Ferring headquarters in Copehagen. Topics for the day was innovation in women’s health and antimicrobial resistance.

Antimicrobial resistance hits all parts of society; health care, agriculture, economic. There are no s*x differentiated data on how AMR hits but women are like to receive antibiotics 27% more often than men, during life. AMR is projected to surpass cancer as the leading cause of death, by 2025.

Thank you for the invite to this eye opening event, we are inspired to make a sustainable contribution to women’s health, globally.

I "Vetenskapsradion På Djupet" berättar Luisa Hugerth vid Uppsala universitet hur forskning om de bakterier som bor i kroppen kan hjälpa oss att lindra besvär i underlivet. I programmet slår man ihjäl några myter om underlivshälsa och förmedlar intressant och användbar kunskap om bland annat bakteriell vaginos.

Nyttan av att ha en blandning av goda bakterier i tarmen har uppmärksammats mycket de senaste åren. Men nu klarnar också bilden alltmer om hur bakterier ...
