"I wanted to host a panel discussion seminar for International Women’s Day in Women’s Health to highlight the diverse and often overlooked aspects of women’s health research, ensuring inclusivity beyond cisgender women. This seminar brings together experts from multidisciplinary fields to address key challenges, disparities, and innovations in women’s health globally, particularly amplifying voices from underrepresented communities. By fostering dialogue among researchers, clinicians, and policymakers, the discussion aims to drive forward more equitable and comprehensive healthcare solutions for all individuals impacted by women’s health issues."
