Melinda French Gates Is Taking on the Women’s Health Gap. Here’s How
Chasing Life with Dr. Sanjay GuptaShow Notes
For a lot of women, getting the right care at the right time can make all the difference... but that doesn’t always happen. Too often, women’s health is underfunded, under-researched, or under-treated. Melinda French Gates joins Sanjay to explain why women are still being overlooked and why midlife, menopause, and maternal and reproductive health often fall through the cracks. She also breaks down her new funding push – and what smarter, more targeted investment could mean for women’s lives.
