8 mars 2025 – « Santé des femmes, à nous de jouer ! »

3 avril 2025 – AfterWork Santé des Femmes
En dépit des avancées considérables de la médecine au cours du dernier siècle, l’écart entre la santé des femmes et celles des hommes reste aujourd’hui trop important. Saviez-vous que loin devant le cancer du sein, les maladies cardiovasculaires sont aujourd’hui la première cause de mortalité chez les Femmes, bien plus atteintes et vulnérables face à ce fléau que les Hommes ? Si ces spécificités face aux maladies sont mal connues et leurs conséquences peu anticipées, c’est que le financement pour la Santé des Femmes dans le monde n’est pas à la hauteur : seulement 2% du budget de la recherche en santé y est aujourd’hui consacré. Il est vital d’inverser la tendance et de donner, grâce à la recherche, des armes aux Femmes pour vivre en meilleure santé !
