Latest data emphasises health gaps and the need for improvements in women’s health, particularly in preventive, emotional and pregnancy care.
From Hologic, Inc.May 9 2024Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM New data reveals that women’s health in the UK has not improved across a three-year period, with a lack of progress in preventive care and reduced satisfaction with pregnancy care causing particular concern.1
This fall is due to multiple factors, including more countries being added to the Index in 2022, as well as other countries leapfrogging the UK. For example, Poland improved by 4 points – jumping into the top 10 countries with a score of 64. Furthermore, other results from the Index present a significant concern regarding the emotional well-being of women in the UK. Emotional health is a fundamental component of overall women's health and emphasises the importance of access to counselling and support services. The findings indicate year-on-year decline in markers of emotional health, where currently at least 1 in 6 women in the UK reported experiencing negative emotions the day before being surveyed.
Dr Ranee Thakar, President of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, underscored the importance of data about women’s health.
