Driven by passion to make healthcare inclusive and empowering. This project holds immense personal significance for us, it is an opportunity to bring positive change to a long-standing social issue. Women have long faced the burden of being unheard and overlooked when it comes to their pain. In our project, we aim to address the alarming discrepancy in healthcare where women's pain often goes unnoticed, leading to delays in diagnosis by an average of four years compared to men. Our focus is on enhancing and humanising the communication around pelvic pain between women patients and general practitioners, with the goal of improving the diagnostic process. Join us as we work towards a more equitable and empathetic approach to women's healthcare.
