The systems that shape women’s health were not designed with women fully in mind. For decades, scientific research, clinical training, and policy have reflected assumptions that overlook female biology and lived experience. The problem is structural. It is embedded in how conditions are defined, studied and measured, which manifests as delayed diagnosis, limited treatment options and lack of urgency in care for women.
Healthcare marketing operates within these systems, and while we cannot rewrite them, we are not neutral within them either. We influence how strategy is shaped, how insight is prioritised and when women’s perspectives enter the process.
The Healthcare Communications Association (HCA) partered with Cherry on this webinar that challenged brand, medical and commercial leaders to consider how that influence is used, and what changes when women are brought inside the process earlier.
Watch back this hybrid panel discussion event that explored what the data from last year's Break the Silence report tells us about gender equity and inclusion in the communications field, and what it means for us as health communicators.
