Empowering Women’s Health at Burslem Medical Centre
At Burslem Medical Centre, we’re committed to supporting women through every stage of life with compassionate, evidence-based care. From adolescence to menopause and beyond, we believe every woman deserves access to healthcare that listens, respects, and responds to her needs.
Why Women’s Health Deserves Focus
Despite advancements in medical science, many Australian women still face significant barriers in accessing appropriate healthcare:
Dismissal of Health Concerns: Over one in three women report having their health concerns dismissed by a GP, making them twice as likely as men to feel unheard during consultations.
Gender Bias in Diagnosis and Treatment: Two-thirds of women have experienced gender bias in the healthcare system, leading to misdiagnoses and inadequate treatment.
Underdiagnosis of Serious Conditions: Cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death among Australian women, is often underdiagnosed and undertreated, with Indigenous women being up to twice as likely to suffer from heart disease compared to non-Indigenous women.
Delayed Diagnosis of Chronic Conditions: Conditions like endometriosis, affecting one in nine Australian women, often take years to diagnose, leading to prolonged pain and suffering.
These disparities highlight the urgent need for healthcare that prioritizes women’s unique experiences and symptoms.
